Bab 258: Hidden (2)

"I am only now noticing how close you live to the human town. If they were to venture deep into the forest, they would end up right at your gates in no time. Aren't you worried about that happening?" Aurora looked back to Vincent as they rode closer to town.

"We have lived there for many years and it is rare for a human to stumble upon it. They believe it is cursed and stay away. Only fools come looking for trouble to see what is in the forest. We cannot allow them to leave once they see our gates, so they are killed," Vincent replied.

"If the king were to ever find out about where you lived and sent an army at your gates, what would you do?"

"Send the children to live with another pack while everyone else defends our home. We have built up too much to run away. The new gates are supposed to be twice as strong to help us fight against our enemies.  We are not leaving no matter who comes knocking on our doors."
