“Megan.” They started once again but I hushed them. Guilt was portrayed on their features but at that moment, I didn’t care. All I cared about was getting the hell out of this rogue camp after I found Alyssa.
Other than Alyssa being one of my only friends at the Royal Pack, I needed to do this for Cliff. I felt almost guilty for being the one to accidentally help with this trap. I needed to fix this.
“If you feel bad… even a little bit… you’ll give me a headstart.” I spoke gathering myself and moving past them. “And if it counts, you should apologise to your children because I am not going to keep quiet about you.”
I walked out the room staring down both ways before making my way down the hall. “Wait Megan.” I heard someone behind me. There stood my parents. “She’s this way, follow me.” I nodded walking behind them, trusting them once more.
I followed them skeptically and soon made it to a door. The door was painted white and my father pulled out a key opening the locked door.
I opened the door swiftly and saw Alyssa sitting on the bed in the room looking distressed. “Alyssa.” I whispered trying to get attention.
“Megan!” She called relief in her voice. “I can’t believe you’re here.”
I walked up to her and gave her a brief hug when I noticed the door closed. I then heard my mother’s voice. “He’s coming Megan, hide.” My eyes widened making my way to the cupboard. Alyssa had gone inside the cover of her bed to pretend she was sleeping.
I sat in the cupboard holding my breath as I heard the door unlock. A squeak was heard from Alyssa but other than that pure silence was heard.
“I know your awake Alyssa.” I heard Sebastian speak.

A groan was heard from Alyssa. “What do you want Sebastian?” The utter anger and disgust was clear in her voice.
“Just making sure your alright.” He sounded awkward and nervous but what’d you expect when you seperate mates?
“Oh I’m just fine, Sebastian.” She spat. “You know, feeling my heart being crushed in my chest is definitely something that I love to feel.”
“You could break the bond.” He suggested.
“Break the bond, you sure are an idiot Sebastian.” She spoke angrily. “Just because your mate died and you have this anger towards anyone with a mate, doesn’t mean you have to make me miserable.”
His mate died?
“Don’t talk about her.” He seethed.
“Would you reject her if you were in my situation? Come on Sebastian think, would you?”
“Shut up.” He gritted.
“I want to go home.” Alyssa finally spoke.
I heard someone angrily storm across the room and walk out. As I slowly opened the cupboard, I looked over and was relief to see Alyssa rather than Sebastian still in the room.
I looked around the room trying to think of a way to escape this room. There were absouletly no windows in here so I decided to check the bathroom. I walked in and noticed a small window – just about large enough for us to do the worm out of it.
“Alyssa.” I whispered gesturing for her to come over. She noticed the window as well and gave me a shake of the head.
“We’re on the third floor Megan and I don’t want to go headfirst to me death.” I nodded in agreement when we heard the door open again.
There my mum stood. “Your dad’s distracting them. Let’s go.” We nodded walking along with her down a very sketchy looking staircase. It looked as though it was a fire exit. “No has used this passage for a while, there’s a network of tunnels underneath the building. It’ll lead you to the forest near the castle. Be careful and tell Ken and Alena that we’re sorry.”
I nodded grabbing Alyssa and running down the rest of the steps. Soon we were presenting with a network of tunnels, as we were told. However, there were two directions. Alyssa was quick to point out a direction.
“The castle is north of here so surely we should go north.” She spoke and I nodded as we started our journey.
