Chapter 85
Gannon POV
Last night, the King granted me special leave while Ivy was transitioning; I had been in the car ever
since. I tried to ring Abbie to speak with her and convince her, but she never answered her phone. Abbie
had been ignoring my calls since thest attempt. I am to report any issues, although I was angered that
Kyson wouldn’t allow me to drag her out because forcing someone from their mate was illegal if they
wanted to remain with them. However, I was tempted to break thatw; I would take j**l time orshings.
Kyson, I know, would be reluctant to hand the sentence down, but with pressure from the packs he
governed over, it didn’t look good for a king to go against thew he helped create, to stop Alpha’s
forcefully marking multiple women and stealing them from their mates, which is precisely why Kade
never marked any of his wives technically they were free if they found their mates. But Abbie, he did
mark knowing having a mate makes him stronger.
So, for now, my only option was to convince Abbie to willingly leave him. As stupid as it might be to try,
l*****n had to. Going against a mate bond was near impossible for she-wolves, and so far, my attempts
to convince her of her mate’s infidelity have failed.
We rarely came this far out. Even when invited to stay as we passed through it sometimes, we always
stayed elsewhere, ufortable with being in packs, never knowing which side they were on. However,
Alpha Kade had been good to us, always helped, but he was a s****y werewolf nheless, the way he
kept women as if they were trophies or some possession, not a person.

My phone starts ringing, and I pull over to answer it, knowing I would need to type in the address soon
anyway. Damian’s name pops up on the screen, and lcd hit connect, cing it to my ear.
“You get the address?” I ask him, rummaging for a pen and paper in the glovepartment.
“Yes, I have it right here. Try to remain unseen, Gannon. It will raise suspicions if you get caught lurking
without formal notice,” Damian tells me, and l growl.
“What did you tell him?”
“That Ivy wanted to send a care package,”
“Fine, I will stop on the way and buy some s**t in case; I can y the delivery boy,” I snap.
“Good idea, but please don’t k**l anyone, for g*d’s sake,”
“I’m just here to get my girl, that’s it,” I tell him.
“You can’t force her; you know what will happen if you do,” Damian reminds me.
“Maybe I am willing to ept the punishment, Damian,”
“Then what bes of her when takes her away, think, Gannon. You force her, and she wants to go
back then what. You would be disqualified from entering his pack, she is stuck there, and the King has to
give you 1000shings and j**l time, don’t make him do that. You know what happenedst time he did
and nearly k****d one of our men. It near destroyed him,”
“But that idiot forcefully imed the girl; I am not iming her, just taking her,” I retort.
“Same difference, don’t make me order you back, Gannon,”
“This Abbie, Damian,” I breathe.
“I am aware, but our hands are tied, and he is the only Alpha we have an actual pact-bound alliance
with,” Damian says. I re out the windshield.
“What’s it going to be? Am I ordering you back, or can you contain yourself?” I snarl.
“Fine, I won’t force her, but if he has hurt her, I will f*****g k**l him,”
“The King said he saw Abbie, and she was in good health besides the cheating on Kade’s part,”
“Still f*****g hurting her,”
“Gannon!” Damian snapped at me.
“Fine, I will keep my hands to myself, just give me the address,” I tell him, worried he would order me
back home after driving all this way. I jot down the address before hanging up and putting the address
into the maps. It was indeed out of town, miles out. Nothing around her; he kept her from everyone,
including the town.
I growl at the realization she was out there alone. Starting the car, I drive to the closest town before
stopping at one of the general stores and filling a basket. I grabbed all her favorite fruits and candies I
had forced her to try since she was sketchy taking anything from me at the castle. Although, towards the
end, she really dropped her guard, and I had her agree to be with me only for that fuckwit Kade to show
up and ruin it.
I looked for something else, but the didn’t even have flowers in this s****y store. I would give her a book
before remembering she couldn’t read and swap it for aic. Maybe she could interpret the pictures
with any luck. Perhaps I can get her toe back with me and reject her mate and teach her to read
myself.
It took me another half an hour to drive to the outskirts of Kade’s territory. She was barely on the border
as l pulled down the long dirt driveway. The ce was surrounded by the dense forest as I pulled up at
the house. Although house would be too kind of a word, it was more like a shack, even that might be too
generous.
I could see her at the clothesline, and she looked over her shoulder at my car as it pulled in, putting her
hand up to shield her eyes from the sun so she could see better. I quickly stopped the car, sending a text
like Damian asked to alert him when I arrived. Abbie looked at the vehicle nervously as I swung the door
open as she slowly walked over. She lets out a breath of relief, making me wonder why she was worried
about a random car.
“Oh, it’s you?” Abbie says, walking over. “Why are you here?” she asks nervously, chewing her lip.
“What, that’s it?” I asked her, raising an eyebrow at her. Her lips tug up in the corner before she rushes
over, and I grab her crushing her against me. “Gosh, I have missed you,” I tell her, and she nods, her
skinny arms wrapping around my neck, and she shrieks when I lift her off her feet, hugging her tight.
