Chapter 86: Ciana’s Charming Spell

The tunnels were too narrow to fit a wolf and thus Tallis couldn’t shift. We had been running for what felt like hours.

“Wait…” I panted trying to catch my breath.

Tallis looked like he had barely broken a sweat and meanwhile here I was gasping for dear life. It was annoying just how athletic he was but then again he was an alpha, a royal one at that.

“We need to keep moving if we want to make it back to Alvar on time.’

“We will,” I panted, “l just need to catch my breath. Not all of us can be insanely fit like you.’

“I’ll take that as a compliment.” If I didn’t know any better I would think that Tallis was flirting with me.

In your wildest dreams,” I stood to my full height, my vision becoming a little clearer than it had been some time ago. “We can go now.’

And we picked up right where we left off. This time I was able to keep in step with him.

We arrived in Alvar just before sunrise. My gown was completely ruined and my hair was most likely a huge mess. But at least I was home.

I was about to step out of the tree line when Tallis 9rabbed me and pulled me behind some greenery nearby. I ampler 86 CianSs Charming Spell was about to complain when he clasped his arm over my mouth to keep me from speaking.

“Quiet,” he whispered. He then nodded to his left and that’ s when I saw the patrol wolves milling close by.

‘Did you see anything?” One of the wolves asked. “Nah, I think it’s just the wind or something.”

They gave the area the once over before they left.

Tallis waited a beat before he removed his hand from my mouth.

I scowled at him. “You didn’t need to cover my mouth.

“You were literally about to blow our cover. Need I remind you you were treated as a criminal last time you were here? Raymond is still in power.”

“I hope not after what he did. The people know the truth. They won’t allow him to cling onto power after witnessing what happened.”

“Don’t you think you’re too optimistic? You disappeared for days and no one sounded the alarm bells. Why? Because Raymond told everyone that this was the deal you two agreed upon. The man may have lost some support but he still has a good hold on the pack as a whole.”

But I’m back now and I am sure my people will take my side once they see that I have returned and can speak for myself.”

“If only it was that simple. Think about what happened last time.” He began ushering me deeper into the forest. *’apter 86• Clan”‘ Channing sr./’ be naive. Come on.

“Where are we going?”

He looked over his shoulder at me. “Let’s recon. This is not the same Alvar we left behind.”

“Alright.”

We had managed to find a disguise for me. A brunette Nig, a large black hoodie and some glasses.

We were currently in the town square café sitting in the corner booth. Tallis and I had done some snooping around and we had both come to the conclusion that Alvar was in shambles.

The pack was divided right down the middle. There were some who were loyal to Raymond and believed that he should remain in power. Then there were those who believed that Raymond should be punished for his wrong doings, and they’ d sent out scouts to look for me and my parents.
