Chapter 50 : An Unexpected Turn

Soren’s question blindsided me. I stared at the bracelet on my wrist as he played with the Blackfire flower charm.

“You’re asking me to stay in a pack with you?” I repeated the question, thinking I might have misheard him.

“Yes, that is what I’m asking,” Soren said, chuckling and smirking. “Stay with me.” He fiddled with the flower charm again.

He wanted me to stay with him? He wanted a pack?

Was this his way of acknowledging what I said to him in the throws of passion last night?

No, I told him I didn’t remember that. He wouldn’t respond to that now, especially since he hadn’t had anything to say about it last night.

It was still an unexpected turn.

I thought Soren chose to be a rogue to avoid responsibility. He hadn’t told me much about himself or his past but I knew enough to know that he had the makings of an alpha.

And yet, he chose to be a rogue. That’s as much as I could piece together. I’d thought for a while that there was a woman in his past who contributed to his decision. He said he hadn’t found his mate but I doubted someone like him had never had relationships before.

What made him change his mind?

I couldn’t think of how to answer. I was safe with Soren, he’d made that clear. But I still had so many questions I needed answered and too many things I had to get done before I could think about settling down in a pack.

Not to mention, I’d just escaped the last pack.

Soren might have been ready to give up rogue life for a pack but I’d only just got my freedom.

Danger could come at me again at any moment. Especially if others wanted to use the artifact.

“I can protect you, Mila, whatever danger comes your way,” Soren said, as if he was reading my mind.

“I know you can,” I said. I cupped his cheek and smiled. “But there’s Helen and it was more than just that one-eyed creep that destroyed my pack.”

“And I promised to help you with those. I will continue to do so but it is going to take time. In the meantime, you could have some stability,” he suggested.

“And the artifact? We haven’t found the pieces yet,” I reminded him.

“But we have the map and it has been hidden for over a decade. There’s no rush to go after it. I’d rather find a way to destroy it first to make sure no one ever uses it again, if you don’t want it,” he told me.

My heart melted and I creased my brow. It was such a tempting offer. To have a real pack, a real home, and to be surrounded by pack members that were supportive and kind. I’d always dreamed of that kind of life when I was a child because things at Saboreef had been so horrible.

It would be nice to stay with Soren and build a stable life for myself.

Still, in my bones, I could feel that Helen was important to me. She knew about my parents’ deaths and she could answer my questions. I had a feeling Helen knew about the artifact and the rest of the trouble I was dealing with, too.

I had to find her!

Shaking my head, I pulled away from Soren slightly.
