I also needed to set up a defense system so that if any of the security measures put in place is triggered, I would be able to fight back if it was an intruder.
Having the ability to fight alone was limited, especially since I can't shift to my wolf to avoid exposing Lizzie.
I wasn't naive enough to think that I would be safe just because I got away from the Night Claw Pack.
With my father's execution hanging over me like a stormy cloud, I knew I would never be safe until everything was cleared up and I know why exactly my father was killed.
So, I had to take precautions.
I didn't believe for one moment that the council members who had been bent on making things difficult for me would just let me go because I left.
Even if they did, Mike would probably not.
Hours passed without me noticing and the sky outside darkened completely.
The forest outside became a sea of shadows and the active sound of animals and birds lessened.
But even so I didn't stop, and I couldn't.
