Chapter 24

Leaving the compound this time was an easy task. Clad in combat gear, a rifle holstered on her back and knifes strapped within easy reach, she walked up the road into daylight, veering off into the forest.

As soon as her feet hit rough terrain and she’d entered the cover of trees, Lexia ran. For four days, she’d been trapped under the earth, in the hell her mother had created. There had been moments when she’d felt like she was suffocating, when she’d imagined being buried under the soil and concrete. It was one of her worst nightmares; being buried alive, never leaving the compound again. She planned to die. After all, her goal was to rid the Earth of the monsters her mother had created. It didn’t matter that part of her was good, and that was the part of her in control now. Lexia had no way of knowing if she’d always be in control and the thought of having Maura walking free again was enough for Lexia to plan her death. She’d die but she’d die outside the concrete walls of the compound. She wanted her final moments in this world be in the forest, surrounded by the world her mate loved. She was closest to him here. She’d die clinging to those memories, feeling lucky for experiencing such love, if only for a short time.

Stopping to catch her breath, Lexia opened up her mind, searching for the auras of the alpha pack. Finding them, she headed in their direction, allowing herself to walk as she drained her muscles of their excess tension.

She stopped at the sound of a threatening growl. “It’s okay. I mean no harm.”

“What’s with the arsenal?” Grey asked, his voice heavy with the snarl of his wolf.

They’d surrounded her, only Grey stood in human form. Turning to face him, Lexia held her palms up, keeping her voice low and unthreatening. “I’m sorry, Grey. I had no choice but to leave like this. It took a lot of convincing for me to come out alone. I’m here to warn you.”

“She knows of your involvement?” Grey asked, still not dropping his tense stance.

Lexia glanced at the wolves around her. “How about I get rid of the gear and we talk as friends?”

He nodded in reply. Slowly, Lexia stripped her gun, and knives, tossing them at her feet and taking a step away. “Happy?” she asked.

A small smile spread on his lips. “Sorry, can’t be too careful. We did just blow up half the forest.”

Lexia laughed. “Yeah, I heard and felt it. You’ve damaged the power supplied to the main compound. The place is in chaos.”

“Yeah, can’t really bring myself to feel bad about that.”

“The problem is you’ve pissed Lucy off big time. I know I told you to destroy it but I think you went a little overboard on the explosives.”

“Yeah, maybe, but I never claimed to be an expert.” He smirked.

“You need to leave, Grey.”

“Not happening.” His voice was firm.

“She’s put together a team to dispose of you and placed me in charge.
