Cole's POV It doesn't sit right. Not as I see Blackfur fade into the distance of the rearview mirror. Not leaving Callum in charge as my wolves continue to work on without me. Not Hugo's tense energy beside me. And... and not leaving her behind.... Will... will she be safe? Will her father continue to allow her to attend Red Lake? I met with Callum in his room last night, giving him directions and the plans for Red Lake, but I also handed over my duties with Meredith, hoping her father will allow it.... he's one of my best... so maybe. Guilt runs through me that I may have squandered her short chance of freedom. To aid my conscience, I make a silent promise. One day I will make this up to her. For now, though, my concentration lies on the road ahead. On the sh*tstorm currently
