“What do you mean we can’t leave?” I asked.

I pulled away from Soren and looked at everyone else in the room as they stared at us. Whenever I made eye contact with one, they looked away quickly.

“Soren, what’s this all about?”

“Don’t mind them, they are just feeling a little cooped up. As I’m sure you noticed, Mila, it is pouring rain out. It has been since you passed out.”

Soren walked to the closest window and pulled the curtain back. Rain pelted against the glass and I heard another clap of distant thunder.

“So…”

“The explosion that trapped us in the mountain also took out a lot of the main roads. They were either destroyed or blocked by rubble. After digging us out, Payne and the others didn’t have time, or the strength, to clear a road out of here, and then the rains came,” Soren explained.

“You’re telling me that every single road out of Norwind territory is destroyed?”

Soren smirked. “Only the main ones were impacted by the explosions. The rain has washed out all the smaller ones and flooded others. It is too risky to try and leave on flooded and damaged roads.”

I groaned and bowed my head.

“So, we’re trapped… again!”

Soren shrugged and closed the curtain.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

“You don’t seem all that worried.”

Grinning, Soren took my hands and held them between his.

“Is this so bad? I mean really, it could be worse. We’re not in a hurry, are we? Unlike those ambitious conspirators, we don’t have anything to hide or run off with. Unless… you have an agenda in mind?”

He bounced his eyebrows at me.

Sighing, I shook my head. “No, I don’t.”

I glanced around again at everyone in the pack house. Other than Thomas and Payne, there were at least 50 of Soren’s warriors inside.

Outside, I could see some figures moving around in the rain. Hunched over and moving slowly, they looked completely defeated and broken.

I still couldn’t believe that the Norwind warriors had run off and left their most defenseless people behind to fend for themselves.

Before Soren had formed his official pack, I doubted even his rogues would do something so horrible.

They were far more honorable than Chandler’s men…

Those poor people. Their home was broken and destroyed, their pack house robbed and in shambles.

We must have seemed like such a strong, powerful group to them. Just fifty warriors and they kept their distance, obviously afraid of the strangers in their pack house. We were in their territory and they were afraid of us!

That seemed backwards to me.

“It’s not like before, Mila,” Soran said, cutting into my thoughts.

“What isn’t?” I arched an eyebrow at him.
