Chapter 16

Adilah~

Just as what he told me, Cole readies all the preparations needed for us to travel home in the afternoon. We are driving there in an SUV with Cole as our driver, but it looks like Alexander and Travis decided to join the ride as well.

"I get that your mate is going with us. By why the two koalas too?" Crimson protests to me once we are already comfortable in our position on the van. There are three rows of seat inside. The three of us are in the last row, with me between Benetha and Crimson, unfortunately. Cole and Travis are still checking the engine outside, while Alexander is talking on his phone.

"I don't know but I will appreciate it if you stop whining before you change one of their minds and we are stuck here." I scold her. For all I know, Crimson can bash the whole world and she can still sleep off peacefully at night. Thankfully she finally gives up and stares out of the window.

"Can't believe that this is it. What do you think they will think once they see us again? Do you think we should tell them what happened?" It's Benetha's time to disturb me while playing with her brown, wavy hair. I realize that both her and Crimson are properly groomed, an evidence that they were treated great. They actually look like they are here for a vacation rather than being kidnapped. Knowing these two girls though, it will take forever for them to admit that and even give Alexander a little credit for it. Not that he truly deserves it.

"I absolutely don't know. All I know is we need to find mother first and don't talk to any else as much as possible. "

"You do know that we are passing my pack first, right? I want to get off there right away."

"Crimson," I warn the girl. Even though I am not aware of the situation there, I can tell that just showing up out of the blue with men who are our kidnappers is going to cause a lot of mess.

"Okay. Since I am at your mercy here. " She stares out the window again. Benetha places her head on my shoulder. Cole and Travis finally rounded from the front after shutting off the hood of the car finishing their inspection and join us inside. Alexander ends his call and followed.

"Ladies. Comfortable behind there?" The Western Alpha takes the middle seats, while Travis is in the passenger seat in front with Cole.

"It would be better without you." Crimson frankly answers that makes me roll my eyes. Here we go. Thankfully since Alexander finds everything amusing he just laughed it off.

"Well, I suggest you should. We have a long way to go."

Cole starts the engine and glances at me in the rearview mirror before the car slowly descends. We're going home.

The Western pack is 8 hours away from the Equality pack. 5 hours to go to the Liberty pack's border and from there another 3 hours to reach mine. The ride is going smoothly, aside from Crimson's snarky comments from time to time and Alexander's and Travis' teasings that gets a groan of frustration from me each time. It's good that my loud friend passed out a couple of hours ago at the beginning of our journey or it would be even more crazy, though my shoulder is on fire because I am being used as a pillow. Add to that the humidity that a snow girl like me is not used to and I find myself dreading this trip every second.

"30 minutes more and we are going to arrive at the Liberty pack's border."

Crimson perks up, "Thank Goodness."

Alexander shuffles as he grabs something from underneath his seat and hand to us three black sweaters that a lot bigger than our sizes.
