Chapter 35
Gabbie “The Alpha’s Command Part Two
“You told your father about us?” My hands trembled
“Harlow did.” Kade mumbled
He stood between Athena and me. My principal had a duty to hand me over to one of the most powerful alphas in the shifter community but my mate had a duty to protect me. I had the will to live and wouldn’t let myself die
The classroom was on the second floor of McGregor Castle. It would be quite a drop but if I hung onto the window and climbed into another room I would be out of the frying pan and onto the counter. I didn’t need my belongings I needed safety.
While Kade and Athena conversed I scurried to the window. A tall wide window without burglar bars. I
nlocked the latch and heaved it up
“Gabbie
“Don’t-“I plastered myself against the wall.
“I won’t let him hurt you.”
“He’s your dad and Athena has to obey him
“This is still my school. There’s a bus waiting for you at the front gate. It’s going to take your home.”
“How do I know I can trust you? You could still hand me over.” I shook my head. Tears pooled in m eyes. “I don’t want to die today”
“I would never let that happen,” Kade reached out for me. I knew if he made any sudden moves I would be out the window.
“You’re not going to die. I owe it to your mother to protect you. Alpha Titus won’t get you.”
I nodded slowly and peeled myself away from the wall. Kade grabbed me and locked me in an embrace. He grabbed the back of my head and stroked my hair.
“I’m sorry babe. This is my fault.”
“What’s going to happen to us?” I mumbled.
“Tll find you. This isn’t over”
“We have to hurry. The Sanders wolves are looking for her.”
He pulled back and kissed me. I kissed him as if it were the last. I wrapped my arms around his neck. standing on my toes to kiss him just right.
“We have to go now.” Athena said.

I raised the candle and shone light on two open–do tunnels. The three other doon were belied stove I feared what had behind the bolted doors A dungre? Or the forgotten hoodies wolvest
Hours went by and my candle was fading What if down here! Would an alpha like Titus leave Athena
nething happened to Athena and I was trapped
punished if he found out the deed him
“I need to find my way out.” I rose to grab another candle unce mine was dying
Groaning hinges sounded from above. I dropped the candle and scurried to safery which was wherever my back hit.
“Gabriella” Athena called
“I’m down here!”
“Thank goodness”
Metal groaned then the candles exploded to light. Iliminating the entire secret chamber I realized there were more bolted doors Athena few down the stairs and grabbed the last candle
Follow me.” she ordered
What is this place?” I marched behind her
She raised her dress and set one foot through the open tunnel
“It’s a place of refuge. Built when the packs disband and every one wanted power. These tunnels w take us outside the castle grounds where a bus is walling for you.”
“Is it going to take me to my pack?”
“Yes. Titus can’t harm you in your pack Your alpha Houldn’t allow it
“How do you know that I’m wolfless. He shouldn’t re
Athena whirled to face me “Believe me he does. Hewes a great deal to four father. He has to keep you safe.”
“How do you know?
“I know many things, child. We should hurry.”
I struggled to keep up with Athena. Thank goodness the tunnel has no turns I would have had a harder ume keeping up with her. We came to a wooden dot Light shone through the split parts in the wood
“Hold this” she handed me the candle
How’s Kade?” I asked
“He’s fighting with his father. He isn’t taking this lying down.”
Athena broke through the door, allowing a burst of fresh air to swarm in. We hurried out. I spotted the

“Over there go-
Finished
A wolf howled piercing the quiet night. Another how followed then vicious barks broke out all around us. Athena shoved me backwards as a pack of fang–bearing wolves raced toward us. She raised her dress to her knees and shifted into a massive black wolf. She barked for me to go, but I was rooted to the
spot
The black wolf towered above the goons sent to kill me but she was one wolf against a dozen. I stumbled and tripped. A wolf behind me growled. It was the end of me I turned around as the wolf jumped over my head and attacked the wolves diving on Athena.
“Kade!”
He left his father to save me. Once Athena got hold of her battle Kade came back and nudged me to my feet. He shoved me with his nose. I wanted to hold him but he growled for me to get moving.
The lights on the bus came on as the door opened. I turned and found Kade on two feet. I jumped on his naked body and squeezed.
“You have to go now,” he said.
“Thank you.”
He pulled back and kissed me. “I have to go.”
I watched him shift back and run through the murky ground.
“Mate”
