#Chapter 45 - Aiding An Old Friend

Xavier’s POV

Nightfall had descended over our small camp pretty quick. I took one last swig of my whiskey before looking at the men before me as they were gearing up.

I could’ve brought an entire battalion of men with me and made this easy but I knew that making such a bold and loud entrance would only put us at a disadvantage. I wanted to have the element of surprise before taking Caspian for myself.

I watched as the men started to pack up the camping gear when Adrian had returned. I raised an eyebrow when I saw that someone else was with him, too. I rose to my feet and walked over to the pair.

“My Lord.” Adrian fisted his hand over his heart. “This is Private Omar. He’s one of Oliver’s men.”

The bloodied and bruised man nodded his head. “My Lord, Caspian is completely infested with those bloodsuckers. They’ve had the whole place on lockdown and are keeping my brothers and captain as prisoners.”
