Chapter 62 Nadia and Lucien

“There is safety in the very heart of danger.“–Vincent van Gogh

Lucien

Running-

Running to keep myself and Nadia safe from Osiris‘ insanity. The maniac had eyes and ears everywhere. If we moved, he knew. Privacy was nothing more but an illusion in the grand scheme of things; he took that from us. We couldn’t rest because we weren’t allowed to rest. After all, Nadia and I had a bounty on our heads.

Standing up against a tyrant grants you an endless list of enemies.

Run to Garnet Moon was all I heard through the wild journey. Those who risked themselves to keep us safe- the wolves, fairies, and other creatures all said the same thing. The Warrior Pack of California was a haven for those running from danger. A diverse pack dedicated to keeping their members safe. I had doubts, I couldn’t diminish the hope in Nadia’s eyes. Full of desperation and fear, she needed–no, deserved a safe place to stay. After all that Osiris had put her through; his supposed mate. She deserves better.

And here we are, handcuffed like animals under the annoying, blistering sun. I’m disappointed, but not surprised. Many eyes are on us, burning with untold fury and scrutiny. Nadia shrunk under their gaze, scooting her body close to mine. Her exhaustion is present on her face and I want nothing more than for her to get some sleep. However, one pair of eyes didn’t hold red–fiery rage, but concern. Mystical purple glittered with tears. I recognize the woman who possesses them as one of the many captives all those weeks ago.

I recognize all those who Osiris puts through hell with his ever–evolving plans.

“Asylum?” The auburn hair man, who I assume is the Alpha of Garnet Moon, spoke. “You’re withholding vital information by forcing me to grant you asylum?”

“We don’t have a choice.” I countered, gritting my teeth. “Our lives are in danger. My offer is non–negotiable; you must guarantee that Nadia and I will be protected. If not, we’re not saying shit.”

“That’ll depend on the type of information you give about Osiris. I’m not in the mood for games.” The Alpha warned with an added growl. “What is your relation to him?”

“I am–well, was his good friend.”

“And I was his mate.” Nadia added, earning widened eyes at her response. Her blue eyes and head lowered as if she was begging. “Please, just promise us we’ll be safe here. We’ll tell you everything! I’m tired, hungry and…please…” Stray tears rained on her lap. My heart twisted in agony. I wanted to comfort Nadia as I’ve been doing the entirety of our escape, but the cuffs aren’t doing me any favors. When she rested her head on my shoulder, I rested mine on top of hers as she sniffled. Already, I can feel her palpitating heart slowing

down.

“They’re telling the truth, Anthony.” The woman with purple eyes revealed. “Nadia and Lucien helped Kiya, Violetta, and I escape the facility. Without them, we’d still be there. I sense no malice or deceit. You can trust them.”

Alpha Anthony regarded us with a heavy look for a moment longer, soaking in the words of the witch. The man standing next to him with an owl on his shoulder shook with withheld rage. He then took a deep breath and ran his hand through his long hair. Whoever he is, I can tell he wanted to strangle me. Not a moment after, the cuffs around my wrists were removed and my arms immediately wrapped around Nadia, rubbing soothing circles on her back.
