Chapter 168 Miles

• I had chosen to drive with the rogues with me for a large portion of the journey, despite us all being fast in our wolf form, we didn’t have the resilience to maintain that speed for longer lengths of time, and a car was always going to be quicker. Plus, being in the car would keep us on the more likely route that Bailey and the others had taken. I needed to get to her and bring her back to me. The incessant calls to my phone were becoming tiresome now, but they were easy to ignore, and no doubt my father, brother and others from my pack who were attempting to call would become far more tired of attempting to contact me than I would by rejecting their calls.
• I did not need to answer their calls to know what they wanted me for. They wanted me back there to deal with this mess with Kaia. They wanted me back to prevent me gaining access to Bailey. Why they suddenly felt the need to protect her after being so blindly oblivious to the shit we put her through for so many years, I do not know. Their attention had always been so intensely focused on Jordan and I over the years, with us being the heirs to the Alpha and Beta titles, it had so easily distracted them from all else; and sweet little Morgan had a way to garner their attention too, with her being the youngest, not to mention being so demanding. Bailey was easily forgotten about; and I guess in many ways so was my brother. So this sudden need to protect her and be there for her reeked of guilt in my view.
• After their many calls were rejected, many messages began to pop up too. I had received so many messages, like they thought I would take notice!
