Exile(6)

Odette's POV

The wind whipped against my face, and the sound of it rushing past filled my ears. Gripping Wyatt's hair, I pleaded with him to take me back to the Rouge Moon Pack. I needed to return and reveal the truth—that the rogue in the pack wasn't the same rogue we had seen, and that I hadn't colluded with the rogues.

As the Rouge Moon Pack drew nearer, my anxiety grew. Would anyone believe me? And would Wyatt's testimony lend credibility to my story? Sensing my unease, Wyatt slowed down. I buried my face in his hair, holding him tightly, feeling the thumping of my heart.

Soon enough, Wyatt came to a halt. I looked up and saw the Rouge Moon Pack. Despite my mixed feelings, I dismounted from Wyatt's back and took a deep breath.

"She's back!"

"Odette, the traitor has returned!"

Before I even entered, I heard the voices of the pack members yelling. They pointed their weapons at me, and Wyatt growled softly behind me.
