Chapter 43 : I Would Have my Revenge

Sticking to the shadows, I made my way back. I hid behind a tent and saw that Payne, Ashley, and the others had been ambushed. They were both in restraints and most of Soren’s other men were being restrained and held back.

“We don’t know who the hell you’re talking about!” Payne shouted. “It is just us. We don’t know any witches and we haven’t seen one!”

“Me?” I gasped, covering my mouth.

These men were after me!

Payne must have been trying to convince them I wasn’t around because they hadn’t seen me. I guess my walk in the desert had been a good thing… unless Soren’s friends got hurt because of it.

Normally, they’d have no problem fighting off attackers but this group was highly trained. The kind of organized military force that only a strong alpha could afford and maintain.

If I backed away and snuck off into the shadows, they could search the camp all they wanted and they’d never find me. Hopefully, they’d leave Payne, Ashley, and the others in peace if they realized I wasn’t there.

“Is that so?” the leader asked, pointing a spear at Payne’s chin.

He snapped his fingers and two of his strongest guards pounced on Ashley. She spit and hissed as they pulled her back and restrained her.

“Well, this b***h will do just fine for now. When you find that little witch, you can exchange her for your sister,” the leader said, pressing the tip of his spear harder into Payne’s neck.

My heart hammered in my chest. I couldn’t let Ashley get hurt, not on my account.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Ashley snarled, struggling against her captors. “We don’t know who you’re talking about and we definitely don’t know any witches. They’re a myth!”

“Shut up!” one of the men snapped. He threw Ashley on the ground.

The guards that had taken her hostage began kicking and beating her.

Payne winced but he didn’t move toward her. The spear tip still at his throat. The others couldn’t move either. They were powerless to help Ashley.

“Where is she!?” the leader demanded.

“W-we don’t know any-anything,” Ashley sputtered from the ground. She coughed up blood. Her skin and clothes were covered in sand and bloody smears.

After all that, she still didn’t give up my location. I knew she didn’t like me but she was showing true loyalty and she was trying to protect me.

The others might be powerless to save Ashley, but I wasn’t!

I pulled my knife from my pack and tucked it into my pocket.

“Everyone lower your weapons,” I said. I held my arms up and walked out from behind the tent.

The leader whipped around, pointing his spear at me.

“Oh, what do we have here? A redheaded woman?” he asked. He glared at Payne.

“Release Ashley and take me instead. I know I’m the one you’re after,” I said.

Ashley glared at me. “What the hell are you doing? Get out of here! No one asked you to come help me!”

I ignored her and looked at the leader. “Let her go or I will disappear into the darkness and you’ll never find me.”

The leader snapped his fingers and his soldiers let Ashley go. She scrambled back toward Payne.

“Come on, we’ve got to go,” the leader said.

“Wait!”

I pulled the knife from my pocket and held it to my throat.

The leader froze and held his hands up to the other men.

“Release them, all of them, and let them leave in the Jeeps. I’m not going to let you kill them the moment I turn my back,” I insisted.

The leader glared at me.

“I know you want me alive!”
