We didn’t dare to take the car again and could only transform into wolves and run along the narrow trails. We had to take breaks from time to time. Fortunately, the baby in my tummy was perfectly fine.
Two days later, we finally reached the last pass. If we could get through this one, we would reach the Black Moon Pack territory in no time.
However, we discovered that the pass was highly manned.
“Why is it suddenly heavily guarded?” Blair and I were standing under a tree not far away. We were cautious not to come forward and be seen.
After observing for a while, Blair lowered the brim of his cap and said, “I’ll ask around about it.”
“I’ll go with you.” I followed him.
Blair stopped a gentle-looking she-wolf and pretended to be confused. “Excuse me, Miss. Why is the pass suddenly heavily guarded? I see that a lot of cars are not allowed to pass through.”
The she-wolf smiled and warmly explained, “A ferocious criminal has arisen in the empire. The royal family issued a nationwide arrest warrant with a reward of several hundred million dollars. I’m unsure what exactly this criminal has done, but whoever catches him will become rich overnight.”
Hearing this, Blair and I exchanged silent glances with one another.
The she-wolf unlocked her phone and showed us the electronic arrest warrant. “Take a look.”
I was utterly flabbergasted when I saw the photo. Wasn’t this Blair?
At this point, I had a bad feeling in my gut.
“This is a really rare spectacle. The reward is a considerable sum of money. What do you think this man had done? Maybe he abducted the prince’s wife and that’s why the royal family is now so pissed, ha-ha!” The she-wolf chuckled before turning to face Blair, only to be confused after a brief moment. She then glanced back at her phone and mumbled, “Eh, why does this person look like you?”
Sylvia’s POV
I had a sinking feeling that something bad was about to take place once she realized Blair was the wanted criminal, so I knocked her out instantly before Blair could react.
He gave me a thumbs up and said, “You show the same style I once had, decisive and bold.”
I crossly said, “Quickly hide her somewhere.”
Blair acted with urgency and carried the she-wolf away, concealing her in the bushes.
Then we moved to a safer place and searched for the warrant online.
The warrant was only in Blair’s name.
I couldn’t stop the laugh that escaped my lips, but I could see that Blair was miserable. I quickly cleared my throat and asked seriously, “What should we do now?”
Blair was slightly furious. “Why does Rufus only issued a warrant for me?”
“You were the one who shot him, remember?” I threw an annoyed glance at him.
Ignoring me, he angrily blurted out, “And you’re the one who broke his heart!”
Suddenly, there was this awkward silence. Blair realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed the topic. “We’ll have to find a way to muddle through.”
I nodded quietly. My spirits were low. Although Blair’s words sounded harsh, it was a fact that I’d broken Rufus’ heart.
“Hey, punch me,” Blair abruptly said.
I watched him strangely, wondering if he was just a freak who enjoyed getting beaten. The wound on his face had barely healed, but now he wanted to be knocked around again.
“Don’t be stupid. Others won’t recognize me if you punch my face and bruised it.”
His reasoning left me speechless. I didn’t think it was a good idea. At this moment, I spotted a funeral procession coming from afar. The people were dressed in black.
Blair and I looked at our black clothes, suddenly inspired.
When the funeral procession reached the pass, Blair and I quickly sneaked in. We lowered our heads, pretending to be mourning.
The family members of the deceased around us were immersed in their grief, and no one cared about us joining in.
Most people in the world are terrified of death. The soldiers guarding the pass only did a cursory inspection before letting the procession through, probably thinking that being around the dead was bad luck.
We cleared the pass smoothly and finally arrived at Black Moon Pack that afternoon. However, we were greeted with a commotion at the entrance of the pack. Two groups of soldiers were confronting each other. A curse rang out from beyond the crowd in a voice that I hadn’t heard for a long time. It was Shawn.
I casually approached a soldier and asked, “Why are two groups of soldiers congregated here?”
The soldier wore a worried expression. “They belong to the Isolated Star Pack. They came to provoke us. As Alpha, Shawn is totally useless and instantly defeated by the Isolated Star Pack’s Beta. Our soldiers can’t defeat them either since we are outnumbered.”
I frowned, thinking this to be ridiculous. The Black Moon Pack had become so abject in such a short span of time. Although it didn’t have a very strong military strength before, it wasn’t a pack to be trifled with. After all, it was one of the top fifteen economies of the empire. This was enough to intimidate the neighboring packs and they would even often butter up the Black Moon Pack.
Releasing the soldier, I walked to the edge of the crowd and saw Shawn lying on the ground with disheveled hair. His white suit that used to be clean and tidy, now hung like a dirty rag on his body. When he saw that the Beta of the Isolated Star Pack was going to squash his face, he begged for mercy.
This was greatly humiliating. I couldn’t stand by quietly anymore. My mother had once tried all means possible to protect the Black Moon Pack from falling into this exact same situation. I immediately charged ahead and delivered a solid kick to the arrogant Beta.
Shawn’s POV
“Stop!”
An angry voice resounded from the distant sky. It was clear and pleasant to hear, much like the sacred music from the heavens.
In a trance, I thought an angel had suddenly emerged to save me. But when I looked more closely, I realized it was Sylvia!
She made a surprising change. She was already stunning when I last saw her in the capital city. But now, she had bloomed into a striking beauty, as radiant as the bright moon. This woman was no longer the timid, subservient slave I once knew. Now, she radiated a noble and enigmatic temperament that I found very attractive. Was this all because of Rufus?
Thinking of this, I felt regretful. Had I not refused Sylvia before, she would have been my mate.
Before I could even react, Sylvia had already kicked Antoine to the ground. This arrogant Beta of the Isolated Star Pack had finally gotten a taste of his own medicine.
I got up from the ground excitedly and shouted, “Antoine, it’s not too late to beg for mercy now!”
Antoine staggered to his feet and scowled at Sylvia. “Bitch! That was a sneak attack!”
