"Why? On what grounds?" he demanded, still shielding me.

"We do not owe you an explanation, Alpha Nathan," their leader replied coldly. Then he side-stepped Nathan, and came toward me, preparing to read the arrest warrant but I held up my hand.

I stepped out from behind Nathan, my head held high despite the trembling in my hands. "There's no need to read out the arrest grounds," I said. "I'll go with you willingly."

Nathan turned to me, staring at me with disbelief. "Lyla, no…"

I cut him off with a glance. I was better off going to White Moon Pack than staying here with Nathan's erratic behaviour. Perhaps, this was Ramsey's ploy to get me out. I had mentioned to him earlier what Nathan had done. Perhaps, this was his way of rescuing me.

As the men surrounded me, cuffing my feet and arms, I caught one last glimpse of Nathan's face. The possessive rage I saw there confirmed what I now knew with certainty – the man I had liked was gone if he had ever truly existed at all.

They bundled me and dragged me out of the house into their vehicle.

The journey to the White Mountain Region passed in tense silence. I sat at the back of the armoured vehicle, surrounded by stoic warriors who refused to meet my gaze or answer my questions.

Through the tinted windows, I watched the familiar route that should have led to White Moon Pack where Ramsey's authority would shield me, instead, they took an unexpected turn down a winding path leading directly to the White Mountain Council building.

Since I'd been there before, the roads were familiar.

"This is not the road to White Moon Pack. Where are you taking me too?" I half rose from my seat, wishing my hands were free.
