<h4>Chapter 510: 510-They Call Her A Monster Now</h4>


    <strong>Troy:</strong>


    My warriors understood immediately, but so did the pack’s warriors.


    "Stop him from leaving!" one of them yelled, but it was toote.


    I sped away while my warriors shed with theirs. There were not many of my warriors, so I knew they would have to retreat quickly, and they did. The moment I cleared the main gate, my warriors began running out as well.


    "Wait, they need us at the mansion!" one of the warriors shouted.


    Another warrior drove out in a separate car behind us, but he was speaking to the others instead of chasing us. At that point, Yorick’s warriors had no choice but to turn back and fight to save their alpha and his family.


    "Where are we heading?" Leysa asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.


    I had taken an abandoned road because I was not certain if they were still following us. At least my wolf understood that I was heading back home to take Clementine to my pack.


    "We are going home, my home," I replied quietly.


    "Why aren’t we taking her to Ian?" she asked, making me shift ufortably in my seat. "I saw the mark on her neck, Troy. Have they marked each other? If so, he should be the one she goes to. Besides, I don’t think she will be okay once she wakes up. All I know is that they had been injecting her with some kind of medicine. I read about it."


    Leysa continued in a soft, gentle voice.


    "They are somewhere I cannot contact right now. If Haiden’s uncle finds out, it will be bad," I started making excuses because I did not want to take Clementine back to Ian’s house yet.


    I had heard what happened between Yorick and Clementine. Maybe she had given him a chance at some point, and that meant I might get lucky too.


    But that would mean Clementine cheated on Ian to get pregnant with Yorick. Then again, it did not matter. If she chose me and rejected Ian, that would be all that mattered.


    "What? You were saying something."


    Leysa’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and I adjusted my posture in my seat.


    "All I’m saying is that I cannot take her there right now. I have to take her to my pack, and I will ask them toe there. They are currently in Haiden’s pack, and you know Haiden’s uncle. I guess you know the history," I exined.


    When I adjusted the rearview mirror, I noticed how she lowered her face in guilt. I felt like pping myself. Of course she knew the history. Why did I feel the need to remind her? What her father did was not her fault.


    "That is not your fault," I added, realizing I had spoken my thoughts out loud.


    She did not respond, but at least she understood that I was taking Clementine somewhere safer. The only problem was that I did not know how long she would stay quiet before she started asking where Ian and the others were.


    As we drove on, I turned left onto a busier road, though it was not too crowded. That was when my heart nearly stopped. Announcements were sting through speakers across the small pack we were passing.


    "Attention. You all must have heard about the crusader Clementine Stark, who is wanted. The council has issued a reward for whoever finds her, dead or alive. Do notmunicate with her. She is a maniptive monster. It is better to sedate her or trick her into taking sedatives. Otherwise, keep yourself safe from her. She is not to be trusted."


    The announcement made me adjust the mirror quickly so I could look at Leysa. She moved fast,ying Clementine down and sitting in a way that hid her face, but we both knew that would not be enough. The reward money would make everyone desperate.


    "What the heck is going on?" Leysa asked in confusion. "Why are they calling Clementine a monster?"


    She kept questioning me while I quickly turned the car onto apletely abandoned road.


    "Can you call Ian and Haiden and ask them?" she asked again, bringing up the people I did not want to involve yet.


    "I will, but Leysa, you need to understand how much power they are using."


    I paused when I noticed my warrior calling me, and panic rose in my chest for Clementine.


    "Hello?" I answered, keeping my eyes locked on the road to make sure no one wasing our way.


    "Your Highness, I just got information about your mate," my warrior said, and I trusted him, so I felt a bit of hope.


    "Tell me," I urged.


    "So the council has announced that not only are you and the others looking for your mate, Clementine, but they are also searching for her. They im there is something wrong with her wolf, that she is a monster. Because of that, they have asked anyone toe forward with any information about her. Not only that, Your Highness, but they have also ordered the tracing of everyone’s phone calls. So I hope you find her before they do."


    That was my warrior’s way of giving me the information while making it clear he was on my side. He knew the calls were being recorded, so he was careful not to say anything about her being in the car with me, even though he knew she was.


    "Okay, got it. I hope we find her first. Thank you," I replied before ending the call and turning to pass the information on to Leysa.


    At this point, Leysa was not expecting me to call anyone after I told her what was happening. I did want to spend time with Clementine, but I did not expect my wish to be granted in a way that would cause so much chaos.


    Hearing others call Clementine a monster hurt me deeply. I had no idea what those monsters in the council were preparing.


    With that, I drove along the secure roads with my warrior’s car ahead of me. Every few hours, he gave me a hand signal to show that the road was safe. Then I quietly brought Clementine into my pack’s territory.
