Chapter 736

CHAPTER 81 : A TOMB

I managed to make it out of the rogue zone without Soren or anyone coming after me. I didn’t want him to come after me but I was a little surprised that he hadn’t noticed I was gone yet.

Maybe he just let me go. I’d left his dresser a little messy. He might have discovered that I found the photo and realized I knew the truth and wasn’t going to bother convincing me to stay.

As I got onto the open road, a bush beside me rustled.

I hardly paused and kept walking.

Another bush rustled, even closer to me this time. I kept walking, not wanting to alert whoever was following me that I knew they were there. This time, I wasn’t helpless. Soren wouldn’t need to protect me.

Suddenly, the bushes exploded, and several wolves burst out. They surrounded me, snarling and licking their lips.

Several men appeared from between the trees and closed in around me. One of them I recognized immediately. It was Chandler from Norwind pack. These had to be his loyal followers.

Sneering, I shook my head. “Are you here to abduct me again?”

“I’m not that rude. Is that really what you think of me?” Chandler asked, scoffing. “This time, I’m here to invite you to be my guest.”

“Why would I want to do that?” I snarled, crossing my arms.

“Well, because you’re out here wandering alone. I figured you’d need a place to stay.”

“That’s very presumptuous of you. But you’re wrong.”

“Really? I don’t think so.”

Chandler smirked at me.

“Get the f**k out of my way!” I cried, throwing my arms out. I was not in the mood to stand there and deal with Chandler and his games. “Didn’t you learn your lesson from last time?”

“Well, last time you had the big bad wolf, Soren, come to your rescue. I don’t see him anywhere this time,” Chandler said, grinning.

“You didn’t see him around last time, either.”

“Mila, Mila, be careful what you say.”

“Get out of my way, Chandler, or you’ll be sorry! You have no idea what I’m capable of and I’m not in the mood to deal with a slimy, selfish creep like you!”

Chandler growled and his wolves tensed. I could tell they were ready to pounce at any moment.

“I told you to watch your mouth, b***h! If you don’t, I will teach you how to use it properly,” he warned.

“Whatever.”

I rolled my eyes and started walking away from Chandler and his group. I made it a few feet before Chandler snapped his fingers and his wolves circled around me again, blocking my exit.

“Where’s your big bad protector now?” Chandler asked, laughing dryly. “Did the two of you get into a fight?”
