Chapitre 46: Book 1 : Chapter 46 The Desire To Kill

November 4th

"Where have you been, Milly? I got so worried when you weren't at home," Max said, hugging his sister tightly.

"I had to leave," she replied.

"What?" He asked, holding her tight. "How could you be so stupid, Milly!?" He asked, exasperation in his tone. "We are so lucky that you are okay."

"I had to come and find you and Mason and Miles and Mattio," she replied. "But then I got lost and that girl over there, that's our cousin. She saved my life."

"I know who she is," Max said, putting his sister on the ground next to him and taking her hand.

He eyed me carefully but the absence of contempt and scorn in his expression pleasantly surprised me.

"She saved you, you say?" He asked, looking down at the man who was still lying on the floor.

"Yes, I wouldn't be alive anymore without her," Milly replied.

His lips twitched almost into a smile before his face straightened and he scanned the forest.

"Where's the Alpha?" He asked.

"I haven't seen him in hours," I said.
