As much as Dami and I tried getting time to plan out how to find our mates, things just kept happening. This year's Solstice ball is coming up in a few months, and my mother has been hounding us to start preparations and invites. So we have been party planning for a couple weeks instead, Dami stormed into my office can we go to the training grounds to blow off steam, if i have to sit down and look seating arrangements again I'm going to lose it. It's a bit dramatic, Dami, but sure, I could use the exercise too. We head down to the training grounds and start stretching. I know some rogues wander around the borders to the packs, but there is the Bad Lands said Dami. Dami, I can't go to the Bad Lands. The political implications would be a nightmare and dangerous. I know , but what else are you going to do? I sigh in frustration I know the vampires and witches would have feild day though, the Lycan King coming into the neutral lands, the Bad lands is the agreed border between the Werewolf kingdom and The Vampire and Witch covens. I can't break the treaty it took so long to get it at great cost to our people. I know Theo, but you can get amnesty to enter to tal to the rogue's. I'm sure that they would agree said Dami. I don't know if they didn't mind rogues there because they are outcasts that hate my kingdom as much as they do. True, but you could try says Dami. Just as we finished stretching, we smelt rogues their smell wasn't strong, but it was their they must be crossing from our border to the Bad Lands. do you smell that Theo? Yeah, rogues, no, I smell vanilla and roses. mymate is with them. I can smell her. What? we have to catch up to them before they cross on the Bad Lands.

Are we nearly there yet? I was so tired, and all I did was ride Ros's wolf, but it was hard keeping my grip. We will be there soon, only 15-20 minutes, until we have left the Royal border. Can you smell that? What smell? It's like freshly cut grass and saw dust. Is that my mates scent? s**t it must be. I have to get out of here. What why? I'm sure mate will be nice. I'm that's why I can also smell the Royal guards, too. I want to meet my mate though, I can leave you here but I'm sorry I can't go with you. What why? I don't want to leave you, you just found me. Are you sure I don't want to stand between you and your mate. I take a deep breath. whet do I want? My dear, it's your choice, huh? Who was that? me, my dear Lysa. Omg Lysa, I haven't heard your voice in so long. I know, my dear, but now I'm strong enough to talk to you. I can shift, but we can talk. Okay, I think I need to heal and spend time with Ros. I can come back when I'm ready. If that is what you want, then that's what we will do said Lysa. Joce? oh, sorry, I'll go with you. I'm not ready yet. Okay, hold on tight. I need to speed up.

As we got closer to our border, Theo could smell his mate, too, but their scents were fading fast. They must be running away. Why would they run away from us? Can't they smell us? I think they can. I heard Theo through the mindlink, really? Yeah, they picked their pace. s**t really? They must be scared. Why else would they run? Said Theo. We need to stop Dami, dammit I know. Know we really need to go to the Bad Lands. I will start the discussion with the diplomats when we got back said Theo.

When we finally got back to my place in the Bad Lands, I could see Joce was going to drop. Come on I get you into my spare bed so you can rest. Thanks said Jocelyn. I helped her up my stairs and got into my spare room. You live here she said, well yeah I run the bar downstairs and live up here. I hope the beds are alright. No one's used it since I brought it. I'm sure I'll be comfortable in having slept in a bed before said Jocelyn. Somehow, I'm not surprised life was hard with Silas. I'm sure Uncle wouldn't have been much better they are very good friends after all. Is Silas really that awful? said Jocelyn. Yeah, but we won't get j to that now. You should rest when you get up. I'll get you some food.
