Chapter 262: Honor the Alpha

LERRIN

By dusk it was clear the King had to have made his way back to the Tree City despite their best efforts. Lerrin was ready to bite something. He'd already put his two trackers in the dirt for missing the decoy trail. But as the rejoined the wolf-ranks and darkness fell, one of their scouts fell to an Archer.

After a pack-mind argument with the security council, reluctantly, Lerrin left the watchers in place, but called the fighters back to the encampment.

Nothing had gone this day the way they'd intended. They had unsuccessfully intercepted the King. Their enemy's preparations to meet them had proven stronger than they'd anticipated. And they'd lost their female Alpha.
