Chapter 222 "What is it?" I ask.
"Clyde's there. He's overseeing the operation himself. Seems Alaric doesn't want his hands dirty if he is now ordering council members to handle his pickups." He pauses, his gaze narrowing slightly. A growl escapes me.

"A werewolf issue, meaning he'll hold extra support when he goes for a higher seat if the council can't be trusted. The werewolves are under your rule, council members and Rhett play right into his attempt to overthrow the council and take control." Damian is right but Clyde being there and not his own men or him, won't deter us. We have enough proof and Bianca has shown she'll go against Rhett for her parents and to save her own skin, getting her to testify against the vampire king won't be too hard.
"Let's get this over with, I want to get back hto my mate." I tell him.
"Are you sure you don't want to take her with you?" I shake my head, the mere thought of bringing Aubrey into this mess tightening something in my chest. "No. She stays here. We don't know how bad this is going to get. I need her DDON Chapter 222 safe." He studiesfor a moment, then nods. "I'll have a small squad stay behind to guard the castle, just in case."" "Our parents have their own guard," I remind him.
248 Vouchers.
"Yes, but we can never be too careful. Besides if she loses. control you'll want the extra hand to detain her, no one wants to risk your wrath by hurting her if they are forced to, more men will ensure they catch her without hurting her." "Good." I glance toward the staircase leading up to our room. I don't want to leave her, not when things are still so uncertain. But this is something I have to handle myself. If we're going to stop Rhett, Clyde, and Alaric, it starts here. There's no room for mistakes.
"She's going to be pissed," Damian says, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI grunt in response, knowing he's right. Aubrey isn't the kind of woman who likes not knowing what is going on which is part of the anxiety I still feel from her despite her being asleep. She won't rest easy until she knows for sure he can't hurt her. But I can't risk it. She's been through too much already, and as much as she might hate being sidelined, I'd rather deal with her anger than risk her life.
"We'll be back before she even has tto realize I'm gone," I mutter, mostly to reassure myself.
"Let's move. The convoy won't stay in one place for long. And we need to be ready when they reach that checkpoint." I nod, already forming a plan in my head. "We'll split into two teams. You'll lead the first team and cut off their route from the Chapter 222 1288 Vouchers front. I'll take the second team and hit them from behind. No one gets out." My voice hardens as I add, "We take Clyde alive. Rhett, too. But if either of them resists-"
"We put them down,” Damian finishes grimly. Rhett deserves a slow death and I intend to give it to him, but we also need to go through the correct channels with this. Tyle has m already been threatened with this mess, I don't need the council fightingtoo when rumors have already circulated about Aubrey. Goddess only knows what mess the tabloids would make if packs started getting involved. If Alaric puts claims out about this being an inside job before we can prove without a doubt Clyde is working for him it would be a disaster.
"Kieren checked the back roads maps, they'll have to pass through the forested ridge before they reach the checkpoint. It's narrow-perfect for an ambush." I nod, stepping outside to the waiting car ready to take us to the helicopter pad.
The car roars to life and we are away, the castle disappearing behind us as we drive towards the helicopter pad. Chapter 223
