Chapter 105 : Let Me Stand Me Beside You

“Lilian, let’s not waste time trying to guess who is out there,” Charles said, shaking his head. “We know there is danger out there but right now, we need to focus on a plan.”

Rubbing his hands together, Charles turned to the others.

I stepped back and Soren did too. It was Charles’s place to lead Norwind and guide them. They had to look to him, not to Soren or me. We both understood that. The more Charles asserted himself, the more they would trust him.

“It is no use debating who is at fault or whether or not they got what they deserved. We need to focus on the more pressing matters at hand,” Charles continued.

I could practically feel the shift in mood among the Norwind survivors. They quieted down and started really listening to Charles.

“First off, we’ve all had a long night. We need some time to recuperate, calm our nerves. I want everyone to return home and search for anything that could be useful, any supplies,” he ordered. “We’ll regroup at the packhouse in a couple of hours and take stock of what we have.”

“What good will that do?” someone asked.

“It is a starting point. Now, go… if there’s anyone that wants to remain and help bury the deceased…”

“My men can help with that,” Soren suggested. “Everyone else, do as Charles instructed.”

The survivors nodded and murmured and wandered off.

Charles sighed and turned his attention to Soren. “We cannot be more grateful for your help… and I do apologize for the loss of your boats and supplies. I’m sorry you’re stuck with us for the time being.

Soren scoffed. “I am sorry for your loss, and this complicated situation.”

I lowered my head in solidarity.

In the past week in the packhouse, I’d banished Chandler, Sebastian, and Dylan out of my mind, for the most part.

Naively, I thought that Dylan and Sebastian would fight it out and that conflict would be contained between the two of them. That they wouldn’t bother us anymore…

I’d forgotten that the Alpha King wouldn’t want anyone to discover his true identity and he’d kill anyone that he thought knew the truth. Dylan, or Sebastian in Dylan’s body, had been here in Norwind.

No one who’d been here could leave, or it would risk revealing the truth about Dylan and Sebastian. Whatever happened in Norwind had to stay in Norwind.

Right now, we were safe. The flood waters created a barrier between us and the cruelty of the king. If we couldn’t get out, they couldn’t get in.

But that wouldn’t last long…

“I’ll help with the bodies. Angelica was family, after all,” Lilian said.

She and Charles went to the bodies. Some of Soren’s warriors arrived and immediately began helping gather the bodies and dig graves for them.

Thomas and Payne arrived, coming straight to Soren and me.

Soren watched Charles with a distant look in his eyes.

I took his hand and squeezed his fingers. “What’s on your mind?”
