"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.

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.
