Chapter 288 
My head shot to my mate the sheepishly looked at me, a small tired spark in her eyes at the thought of showing me where she lives, I’m guessing it was the area we went to to get that poor guy… and just like that, any thoughts of contacting Josh flew out of my mind as I held my hand out for my mate to take 
“I’d love to come with you. Just lead the way. Dylan squinted at me, in calculation, trying to figure me out when in reality, I had no alterer motives. I genuinely just wanted to spend time with Vee, although I was struggling with the morality of my royal duties and my duty to my mate. They were polar opposites Maner 
after all 
“I don’t trust you!” Dylan stated causing all our eyes to widen. She too looked exhausted all of a sudden but her words held nothing but truth. I think you’ll run back to the king, as soon as you get the chance. It wasn’t completely out of the question, I was still considering my options, but Vee was my mate, and I would be an idiot to break her trust now, 
“Victoria is my mate… I swear to the moon goddess herself, that I will never do anything to harm her.” I hope I managed to portray my affection for Vee. I really did intend to treasure her with ever fibre of my being 
“If he does anything, I’ll kill him myself.” Vee stated clutching my hand desperately. In honesty It made me smile slightly. Not her words, but her actions. It meant that she had latched on to the feeling of being mates with me. She was already developing affection, in fact we both were. 

“Hey, Maybe it’ll be you who can get him to fight with us. I actually think he’d be an asset.” Dylan scowled deeply but nodded her head allowing us to go on our way. 
We weren’t far from the secret entrance to the safe area, and I subconsciously made a mental note of everything that surrounded it. 

*Ill have to confer with the council tomorrow about having you stay in our company, but they will probably say the same thing as when Lewis first came to us.” Vee began a bit of idle chitchat, but her subject of conversation had my interest pecked instantly. 
“What did they say?” She hummed and pulled my hand slightly closer to herself, so she was somewhat hugging my arm. It was endearing to say the least. 
“That given the wolfsbane border, this was the best place for him to stay at first. Wolf abilities don’t work in here.” Hmm I had noticed I’d felt weaker while being in here earlier, but I thought it was simply because of my gun shot wound. 
“What about marking and mating with someone?” Her eyes widened quickly and she seemed to shoot. her head in my direction. “Can a wolf still mark their chosen mate while being in here?” 
“Well… erm… I don’t actually know. No one’s ever done it in here. Probably best not to try. Maybe we 
1/2 
can see on we get on and then get a room in Gilliards pack.” She wasn’t completely against it? 1 thought she would shot me down Bat. im not ready for any thing like that yet. With what’s just happened I don’t think out her off by kissing her gently on her enticing lips. Her eyes closed gently 
ayon Berything about her was intoxicating. 
won’t do anything not until you’re ready, I promise you,” 
I had fallen hard
