Chapter 0326
My sight swapped from the alpha to the ex lord beta and I nodded, knowing exactly why Gilliard said we couldn’t travel together.
“It would be flaunting our relationship in front of people who solely believe me and the king are to be fated.” I stated, meeting Gilliards look of shock but equally impressed that I had understood. “Lewis, you were the kings right hand, for years, but all of a sudden your here, with me. Our scent is bad enough but if we turned up to a pack asking for acceptance and aid, it would be like a punch in the face.”
“Precisely… You will both have to go, but you will both have to go to -different districts. The queen Luna is right Lewis, you were the kings. Royal Beta, you have an equal chance at getting people on board with the rebellion, but for different reasons.” Gilliard stated, reaching into his desk and pulling out a small folder, sliding it over to Lewis after checking its contents. “You need to explain why you left the palace, leaving out the part about your mate bond with Dylan. Only relaying the inside information you know, information that could sway pack lycans views.”
“Fine! But Shes not going to on her own. She will have a companion, someone who can protect her if needed. Anything can happen to her if not. She’s a target.” My sight met that of alpha Gilliard,
understanding Lewis’s apprehensions and feeling grateful for them, but finding it slightly frustrating that they were talking about me instead of to me while I stood in the room.
“I had no intention of sending her alone, in fact, my suggestion would be for your father to accompany her.” Me and Elias, going off on a job together? That just sounded strange, I didn’t want to have to go with him. I needed someone I was comfortable with, not someone I had to show respect to at all times, not someone who I wanted to actually

like me.
“No!” I stated looking between the two men. In front of me irritated. that I was being ignored. They both looked at me a little taken aback. at my complete shut down of the companion. I had nothing against Elias, but he was Lewis’s dad, and I was Lewis’s partner, I think I was anyway. “Look, I’m going to have to speak out, and I’m going to have to be disrespectful to the Lycan kind. I won’t be able to do the task fully if I go with Elias and have to be on my guard, Watching my attitude constantly around him. If you won’t let me go alone then I get to pick who will accompany me… I want to take Clarke, Ryan Clarke.”
Me and Clarke worked well together, we always did, if I was to go to the packs and speak about everything that was wrong in this fucked up world, then I was going to need someone who also agreed with me and my views. Ryan fit the bill.
“No, there is absolutely no way… you and that boy aren’t going. anywhere alone together.” Lewis bellowed as my eyes rolled in my head. Now was not the time for his possessiveness to make an
appearance.
“The guy is basically my brother, Lewis, and We’ve worked together for years, if something was going to happen then I know for a fact he would have my back. You of all people should be ok with this, he risked his life to help, and almost died trying.” Lewis growled stalking me and pulling me into his arms tightly.
“I don’t care.” He was like a stubborn child sometimes. I couldn’t help. but need to fight back a smile that forced itself onto my lips.
“Well, who would you suggest I take then?!” He remained silent, as he thought about it, but you could clearly tell no one came to mind. So. instead I asked him a different question. “Ok then, who are you taking with you?”
