“You weren’t a slave then?” requested Addison. She wasn’t certain if it actually made a distinction if what Letitia was telling her was true.

“No, however we have been all handled like shit. Properly, those that didn’t struggle alongside the lads, anyway.” Letitia regarded unhappy. “The preventing girls have been handled higher than the remainder of us. They regarded down their noses at us and by no means helped or stood up for us once we have been crushed.”

Shit thought Addison. I can’t look away from this. By some means, I’ve to supply these girls a brand new starting.

“Thanks for rescuing us from there,” Letitia stated sincerely. “I don’t know what we’d have carried out in case you hadn’t. So many people had already died due to sickness or beatings.”

“In fact,” stated Addison, feeling embarrassed. It made her really feel sick, listening to what these girls and youngsters had endured. She’d solely carried out what any first rate particular person would have carried out, liberating them from their violent oppressors. It made her really feel uncomfortable being thanked for it. “Look, I’ll speak with Tyler about you turning into our nanny. And I’ll see if we are able to discover jobs for all of you across the fortress if that’s what you all need?”

“That will be pretty. I’ll inform the women. They are going to be so happy.” Letitia stood. “I gained’t take up any extra of your time,” she stated. “Thanks once more, Princess. You’ll make a beautiful queen.”

She didn’t know what to do with Letitia’s flattery. She smiled and stood. “Please name me Addison,” she stated, holding out her hand. “I’ve by no means a lot been one for airs and graces.”

Letitia shook it hurriedly. “Thanks, Addison,” she stated shyly, then trying uncomfortable, she dashed from the room.

Addison hoped she wasn’t overstepping the mark together with her provide. She simply needed these poor, oppressed girls to really feel at house right here. Tyler had been in his assembly fairly some time now. She determined she ought to discover him and run the concept previous him.

SIXTEEN

TYLER

Tyler and his enforcers had simply completed up their official assembly in regards to the present scenario. Now, all of them lounged across the recreation room, consuming, and making an attempt to one-up one another in darts or capturing pool.

And although the ambiance round them appeared calm, they have been nonetheless making an attempt to kind out their dilemma.

“We scoured that outpost for any hint of the one that paid off the rogues,” his beta stated as he lined up his shot. “Nothing, not even somebody who had seen them when the bounty was issued. It appears the phrase’s traveled principally by means of mouth.”

Louis took the shot, and two of his balls fell within the pockets, a lot to the dismay of his opponent.

Tyler growled and took a swig of his drink. It appeared Hugh had been proper in regards to the mysterious benefactor bailing after issuing the bounty. And the truth that this particular person had been sensible sufficient to not go away any traces behind spoke of knowledgeable. Simply who precisely have been they coping with?

It wasn’t as if he had a scarcity of enemies. However the bounty had been positioned on Addison, not him, which drove his wolf right into a frenzy. Though the assaults on the villages prompt that it was a feud with him. And there was no higher option to get to him than by his betrothed.

Nevertheless, he doubted their attacker knew simply how efficient a weapon hurting Addison could be towards him. And he hoped they by no means came upon.

Or maybe somebody was making the most of the chaos to attempt to get to her.

“So, it’s one other useless finish then,” one of many enforcers, Valerian, stated as he threw a dart, simply lacking the bull’s eye. “The place does that go away us?”

“With no leads and no new clues till another person stirs up hassle,” Malcolm stated. He picked up his personal dart and threw it with ease, hitting the middle spot useless on. Malcolm smirked, and Valerian groaned in frustration earlier than shoving him out of the way in which to take one other flip.

“So, the place can we go from right here?” Henry, who had the misfortune of enjoying billiards towards Louis, requested.

“Proceed to ship out trackers and preserve your ear to the bottom. With the value on Addison, nobody goes to let up anytime quickly,” Tyler stated and knocked again the remainder of his drink.

His beta nodded. “Sure, Sire. I have already got a couple of males deployed and keeping track of another rogue camps. And we’re nonetheless keeping track of the outpost in case our thriller instigator decides to return again.”

Tyler nodded. He may all the time rely on his beta to be on the identical web page as him.

“Are you certain you don’t need us to take your betrothed to a different kingdom?” Malcolm requested. “We may have her over the border in a couple of hours.”

Tyler sighed. “No, we’ve agreed that she’ll stay right here. As the long run queen, she feels a accountability to remain. I’ll honor that.”

Malcolm shrugged. “As you would like. It could be simpler to protect her right here within the palace anyway.”

“Yeah, the benefactor may have been relying on us shifting her and had an ambush deliberate,” Valerian mused thoughtfully after which threw his dart, lacking as soon as once more. He cursed colorfully.

Louis grunted. “Properly, personally, I believe they may …”
