Chapter 241
Dylan POV.
What was my plan exactly? Maybe I hadn’t thought it through enough.
“I think… Again I was cut off… by a young woman who burst into the office, panic sweeping over her feature as she looked from one person to another, before settling her eyes on me…
“Your grace, Beta Oliver has just entered the sectors borders… Alpha, my brother said that he has picked up queen Dylan’s scent.”
That could only mean one thing…
King Josh knows where I am, and with that notion my eyes widened in fear. My hands began trembling, however I couldn’t show any sort of weakness right now, the king was far from me yet, right now our biggest issue was Oliver. The kings lap dog.
“Alpha, what should we do?” The girl looked panicked, and judging by the commotion that was coming from outside the office door, I’d say the rest of the pack was panicking too. “Alpha!?” He didn’t have any idea about what to do, neither did Lewis.
As for me, in the time that it had taken everyone to suddenly become extremely silent my brain had conjured up a single plan, a plan that I had already thought about in advance I just didn’t expect it to come into fruition completely.
“We close the sectors border!” I stated causing every single head to turn to me in shock. We didn’t have time for shock though. If we weren’t quick then the king would send word to every single Lycan telling
them that there was a sick reward for my return.
“Are you insane? There are packs within the border that have no idea about what we’re doing.” I shook my head at the lunas voice, fear laced in it slightly. “If we close the border then we’ve trapped ourselves
with the enemy.”
“And if we don’t, then we’ve left ourselves wide open, the king will slaughter everyone in his path just to get to me… Im sorry, but we can deal with the other packs once the border is compromised.” The silence. I was met with was the only answer I needed as I quickly grabbed the cell phone from behind the desk and threw it to Lewis. “Call your dad now! We need all the fighters we can get, and he won’t hear you through mind link, tell him to go to the southern border.” He quickly dialed his fathers number and walked off to the side to try and get some form of privacy.
Honestly, I don’t know why I was suddenly barking orders at people, and I had no idea how to react when people performed what I asked them too, no grumble or questioning about it, I didn’t even know if this would work, but I was the only one with an idea and we were wasting time by standing there. “You…” I turned to the girl who had bought us the initial news. No emotion rested on my face except

urgency. “Tell everyone to gather all the weapons, you’ve collected and get the head warrior to come see me.” She nodded and quickly left to go and deliver the news.
Mak
Was I being a coward? Making people fight just so that I would stay out trouble. Was closing the border the right thing to do? Why did Oliver have to come, now? I was just actually starting to enjoy life here, and now that’s all up in the air. There were so many questions swirling inside my head that I couldn’t
even accurately focus on one specific one.
“Your grace, you need to stay here, if the king shows up then…” I cut the alpha off with my hard eyes,
and I looked at him, my expression never changing as I knew exactly what would happen.
“Then he’ll kill everyone in sight. The only option we have for that is for me to go willingly with him.”
Lewis was already finished on the phone and caught my arm at my words, he made me look at him, a
calm and demanding stare meet
