Chapter 255: THE JOURNEY TO THE MOONLIGHT PACK

"Good choice my lord." Leonor said.

"Ready the ship." Xaden said to him and then he turned to his men. "Begin boarding. We are taking the Syrena."

They bowed and went on their way.

It was Erik who had come with him as his second in command.

Damian was actually fourth place in ranks, but because Garrick who was the third place in ranks was at the moonlight pack overseeing things and controlling it, Damien had taken his spot.

So Damian had been left to man the pack along with his uncle Uther.

He trusted them well enough.

Speaking of Garrick, he wondered how things had been under his watch.

How Bale had still found a way to send a message owl back and forth without his notice.

Xaden watched as the things were taken up the ship and then the three members of the wolf council that had been there the day he declared judgement against the moonlight pack came up to me.

"We have sent word to the King and we are awaiting word from him." The Leader Tywin said.

"I do not care whether the King hears it or not or whatever judgement he is supposed to give. This is all that matters. Me declaring judgement by myself." Xaden replied.

Xaden’s truly did not care for what the royal family had to say.

The King had done more than enough.

He was the reason why Bale had been let to Betray them and go unpunished.

The King had done nothing and now that Xaden had complete freedom to do as he wished he would not let the king get in between them or any of the other pack houses.

Bale was his to execute as he wished.

He had also not informed Garrick that he was coming.

That was because he wanted no one to know.

He could barely risk it.

If Bale got the smallest hint that his end was coming sooner than expected, then he might use the opportunity to flee the pack and that was something Xaden did not want.

If Bale could give up his own supposed first daughter and child up to Xaden, then who knew what else he could.

He wanted to catch him red handed and gods helped him that he was the one who had ordered for the murder of Eleanor, he would wish for death.

For what he had planned for him was far worse.

Xaden stepped on the ship and then he stood as the men shouted orders.

The sails were released and the anchor was taken back up .

Xaden had also been an experienced see captain and that was why he decided to be captain of the ship.

The ship had its own captain but Xaden was determined to captain it.

When he was tired, he would hand it over to the original captain.

Once the anchor was risen back up, the ship began to sail.

It was now evening and then it had gotten colder.

Xaden now wore a fur cap and his coat was made of the softest animal fur.

He was warm and cozy.

Then he saw Jasmine was seated by the dorks and was hovering in cold.

He started to feel guilty and then he took his mind off it and turned back to steering the ship.

"Hands to star board!" The men called.

Then from the corner of his eyes he saw Erik drape a fur coat over Jasmine’s shivering shoulder.

Xaden gritted his teeth in rage and jealousy.

She smiled at him and seemed to be shaking her head, obviously rejecting the coat.

But Erik insisted and then reinforced the coat on he shoulders.

Eventually she gave in and he saw her lips form what he suspected was a thank you.

Erik nodded and then he took a step back.

Even in her chains she gathered the coat around to take advantage of its complete warmth.

He said nothing and watched as Erik went down below.

Xaden called out to one of his men.

"My lord." The man bowed.

"Take the prisoner down to one of the cabins and lock her inside." Xaden instructed to the Beta.

The Beta bowed and went on about his order.

When the Beta met Jasmine he seemed to be talking to her.

She had some rows of conversation and then she turned to see Xaden.

She nodded and then the beta took her away.

Xaden simply looked away once she was below deck.

Erik returned from below deck and went to stand by Xaden as he held unto the wheel.

"This godforsaken snow is going to make the journey tedious." Erik said.

"Well you have to admit that it is better than going by road." Xaden replied absent mindedly. "We would have most likely been dead before we even got to our destination. Alpha Xaden defied all odds of death until he was frozen to death."

Erik laughed. "That is not quite a bad thing to say though."

Xaden smiled.

"You did not send word to Garrick about the journey did you?" Erik asked.

"No I did not." Xaden said. "I still wonder how a message owl was sent back and forth under his nose. If I inform him of my arrival, then who know if Bale will not catch wind of it and make his swift escape."

Erik sighed and turned to stand on the other side. "That is true. Do you belive that maybe it was Bale who had a hand in Eleanor’s death?"

Xaden shrugged. "I do not know. But I hope so. I want to end it all at once. I want to know that I have killed him for everything bad that he has ever done."

"And Jasmine?" Erik asked. "What will happen to her?"

"Her fate will be decided at the right time." Xaden stated matter of fact.

"So all those things you had told me about her., all those plans that you had made. Is gone, just like that?" Erik asked.

"There is no plan for Jasmine in my future." Xaden ended the conversation.
