“Alpha jasper. It’s unfortunate we couldn’t continue with our challenges. I know you’ve been wanting to do it”

“Not really. But it must have been fearful for you, Alpha. I actually just dish some precautions and stayed in the West to be sure. You know, I have a pack to go back to” Jasper replied with a smug expression

Declan once again looked at her. She just smiled at him wider. He looked away and started walking, grumbling to h
to himself.
Lauren scoffed. Did he really want to act all childish about this? They barely even clarified anything between them.
And he was the one who asked for the divorce!
“Come on now. Let’s get that husband of yours in a good mood again. Or else, all of us we’ll.“Yuan gestured a cut on his throat, making Lauren sigh
All of them followed Declan towards the center of the pack once again. Jasper followed closely behind him, his Alpha ego also not allowing himself to be treated as a lesser wolf than the latter.
She just shook her head. Men and their ego.
As they all walked back. Lauren glanced back at the woods. She observed the air and she could barely feel the coldness in the air anymore. But it was still there, just very subtle. And she couldn’t pinpoint where it came from.
“So there was no attack“” Lauren dragged herself back at the present. She turned to the Beta who had walked side by side with her. She noticed how Declan constantly checked on her. He was a couple of steps in front of them
The Beta turned to her who seemed to be also thinking about something different.
“Hmun, not really. Our guards saw the shadows and tried taking them, but the vampires just ran away.”
“Do you know what they want this time!” She asked. This has been happening quite often at this point.
“No. But they’re probably checking the territory to plan for an attack again. That’s what they always do. That’s been their behavior for the past six years.” He shrugged

“You think that’s just it!” She couldn’t help but question. “It was good that Declan ordered to trace them and search if they left something continuous attempts of attack and invasion, I’m almost sure they’re not just scouting through the territory.”
Yuan sighed and for the first time, Lauren felt how exhausted he was,
“We know. The fact that we still don’t know what they want specifically is just frustrating. I sometimes try not to get drowned by the thought of it
Lauren immediately felt bad. “Sorry. I know you guys are doing your best.”
The Beta just smiled. “Yeah. We need someone to think for us sometimes, so I really don’t mind.”
“But.” Lauren turned to him when he continued. “We might already have an idea what it is. It’s just a scary thought.”
Yuan stared at her in a way that made her feel self conscious. She felt odd at the heta’s observant eyes, as if she was the one he was talking about.
Harry’s words came back to her again.
That they might know something they didn’t know about her.
“But let’s not worry about it for now. We’re still not sure, and we could be wrong”
He tapped her shoulder and started walking faster as they all went inside the pack grounds.
Lauren’s steps slowed for a bit. She felt like there was something dangerous in his last words.
