Chapter 172 Manuel

• My heart dropped when Lola went to step out of the car when the guard told her to. If she was going to give in so easily to a mere guard, what fucking chance do I stand against the senior members of the pack or the fucking Alpha?! She was going to stay here, I think that is looking more likely now having seen her reaction to that. But right now, I cannot allow myself to be distracted by that, by my emotions and my feelings. I need to be fully focused or I will put myself and the group at risk. I cant do that.
• We are literally sat here like we are waiting for Christmas right now. The guard wont let us in. By the sounds of it, they won't let anyone into the pack who is not prearranged, and without the Alpha’s permission, which I guess is not too unusual for packs, as it is general pack security. But surely a quick mindlink with the Alpha and you could authorise us to be permitted into the pack.
• But the way the guard was talking was like he was in a fucking trance, reciting a spell. Almost robotic. Really weird. This pack really puts me on edge, and that is before considering all the other stuff we already know about it. He looked like he was linking as I closed the window, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Alpha arrives soon. If not, then Lola’s parents should be here soon, as she has just messaged them.
