Hear me out! We don't have to go ahead with the wedding ceremony. It could just be a diversion until we find a way to get you out safely." "I said no! I'm not a pawn; I might be an omega, but this isn't my pack, and you aren't my alpha, so I won't follow your orders." "Alright then, it was only a suggestion." Bathel said, and he also rose to his feet. "Save up your strength; in exactly three nights from tonight, I will come for you. I will help you leave here and get past the forest. Forget I ever said this." He began walking back in the direction from which we came. I followed right behind him. I didn't let myself think of what he had proposed, nor did I let myself ponder the intense look in his eyes when he looked at me. All I wanted was to leave the sunflower pack. Alive.
