Chapter 206: Reaching the place
VALENCIA’S POV
"Valencia, I won’t let you put your life in danger," Tory said as he approached me. I glanced at him as I held the bow and arrows and placed them on my shoulders to check if they fit.
I didn’t want to call him near this place, but I needed my kind of weapons, and I definitely didn’t want to waste more time roaming the markets here, which would’ve wasted another day.
"It has been six hours since I have been traveling to come here to do what should be done. Don’t tell me what to do and not to do anymore. If I come back alive within a day, Theo is coming back. If I don’t, I want you to send the news to the council," I said to Tory, who held my hand.
I understand his emotions, but if I thought about them too, I wouldn’t be able to toughen myself up.
The love in my heart for Maverick was also increasing, and it was already hard to ignore these emotions and keep them aside with the excuse that I had to save a life—not just any life, but an alpha who had stood with me and fought battles for me.
This reminded me I still need to turn on my phone.
I turned the phone on, and as soon as I did that, I saw the message from the man who was probably worried sick about me.
I read its content with shaky hands before taking a deep breath.
"I’ll be fine for a day. If I-" I was about to type the truth and situation here, but knowing he would lose his mind and come here too, breaking all the rules for me, I didn’t want that to happen.
I cleared my throat before deleting the message and typing a new one.
