Chapter: 33 A Step Ahead

Hailey’s POV

Owen and I decided to leave only two days later, hoping that the early departure would work in our favor, as he does not want anyone else to know about it out of fear for what Angus and the other Alphas might do against us, if they know he is not around to stand up for the anti-war faction in the council. So we prepare everything in silence as we leave early in the morning, when the sun has not even risen.

“I ask you, Hailey, to reconsider what you are going to do... At the very least, let me go with you.”

My father looks at me before we say goodbye at the entrance of our home. He is not satisfied with our decision and since I told him I was going with Owen to see the king, he has done nothing but ask me to think things over.

“He is not sane, Hailey. I don't know what he might do to you if he finds out you're his granddaughter. He might not let you come back with Owen. He's a man used to taking what he wants without asking for it.”
