“Have you heard of Ambrosia, an omega, who killed her mate to be with her lover?” He suddenly asked me, and I looked at him in disbelief. 
“Uhm no?” I am not that informed about these things cause I spent most of my time in the rogue pack and only have ourselves. I was only thinking about survival and our safety. 
Gusev gnawed in his teeth, “It was against the pack rules so Alpha Kamilah drove her out of the pack and she became insane, Some said she went rogue.” 
“And?”
“She’s strong. She might help us.”
“I don’t know any Amborisa entering our Night Walker pack.”
He nodded, “Alright, how about Czaramia? Have you heard of her? It’s sad that she had grown old without a mate and died alone.
”
“I don’t know anyone. And why are you mentioning them when we are here in Alpha Kamilah’s territory, we can ask for their help instead.” I said. I know I was never the type to ask for help yet seeing the fowlers tricks, I knew we are no match for that. 
Instanlty, I felt Alpha Kamilah’s presence as she said, “Arya? Someone’s looking for you.”
She took me to their training grounds and I gasped in shock at the tall man standing there, it was Kai! Wow, he wasn’t taken by the fowlers or escaped on his own or left me! He returned for me!
"Arya." His same deep voice mumbled, calling my name. Ah, I felt like it has been years since he last called my name...goodness, he was just gone for a day!
I could feel my heart bursting with happiness, and I didn't hesitate a moment as I ran to him, “Kai!”

ALPHA KAI’S POV 
The sky turned orange, mixing with the twilight sky, hinting that it would be soon dark. Far more wild creatures would appear as we are in the deep woods. I harshly grabbed Arya’s hand but then she let go of my hold on her.
 “Where are you going?” I asked her. 
“To Kira. Why?” She responded, looking at me as if I am the strange one there. “Let’s go and-”
“The fowlers are all killed now and we are done with the fight. We need to go now since Ace thinks we’re still branded as traitors here.” I started to explain to her, wanting her to see the things that it is not the same anymore.
She looked at me in disbelief, “Are we really?”
Absolutely not. We are not traitors. “No.” He said. “But-”
“Then we must explain to Alpha Ace. He would understand it. His head should be clear by now.”
“He’s the Lycan King, known for his madness.” I cut her sentence off, “You do not know what he had done to people whom he knows as traitors. He’s ten times worse than me. He was never merciful to anyone.”
She pursed her lips, nodding yet I could almost sense the disapproval on her, “But Kira has grown to my heart….”
Kira? Alpha Ace’s Mate? I notice them being too close to each other these past times yet is this the same Arya I know? 
The last time I checked, she hated humans. “I thought you hated humans?”
“I believe she’s not just any human now judging from what happened from her burning hands. I have to see if she woke up already, I want to ask her.”
I gritted my teeth, “Do not trust any of them. The Crimson pack…any of them.”
“I do not. I do not trust even you.” Her response caught me off guard, and I gnawed on my teeth. I believe that she did not mean what she said as she swallowed hard. 
I breathed deeply, I will let that pass for now just because we are in dire need to escape this place. “We need to go,” I said firmly. 
“Let’s talk about your brother first,” She suddenly said, bringing the topic up. 
What’s to talk about Zef? 
That damn Ace whom I trusted was just spewing some nonsense. That was surely not true news because I know my brother. Although I hated that bastard, we were born in the same womb, we had grown up together, and we had shared everything together that I could even count all the hairs on his back.
The brother I knew would never do anything that would harm me. Especially now that Arya is with me, he would never sacrifice his mate, much more his brother despite our competition. 
“Let’s not talk about him. That was fake news.” I mumbled, not in the mood to talk about this damn nonsense because clearly, I do not believe it. 
I could just sense how Arya is feeling right now. I tried to read her thoughts, how she wants to defend my brother and try to find a hole, but yet another part of her chose to surrender and believe what Ace said. 
Arya looked at me with a pitied look and I could what her thoughts running around her head.
“ He was just abandoned by his brother. He even wanted his own brother to be killed.”
I swallowed. Hard. Not because I hated Arya’s words, but because my wolf was saying how damn right Arya is. 
She cleared her throat, “If it was true….what’s your plan now?”
I paused, trying to weigh out my options. This is a dead end for Arya either way. Either she chooses to be killed as a traitor by Ace, or return to my brother with me. 
Besides, this has been the first time that I had separated from my brother Zef. We have always been beside each other, and it is strange how I could feel distant yet near him. As if he was just near us, watching. 
 “What if I tell you that I’ll give you to my brother?” I suggested, hoping to hear her ideas. 
Arya scoffed at me, her same sassy side showing, wanting to make sure that I was serious and not messing up with her head. 
“You know me, I never say anything I do not mean. I am not trying to pull some games.” 
I said to her through our mind link. 
She looked at me in disappointment, “You’re that easy to give me up? Seriously? Never took you as the boneless chicken alpha who would come crying at his brother’s tail.” She responded and then snickered at me, “Remember, you let me out of the pack. If we return, you are branded as a traitor too. We’ll get locked up.”
“Then what do you suggest? My brother just abandoned us, Lycan King Ace considers us traitors, so where do you think we should go? Go rouge? From our own pack? Or be a lone wolf?”
It seemed that she was laying out the obvious to me, “Then I will go, rogue. I take pride in it, it is what I started, and I’ll die being one.” She answered and I just facepalmed and breathed deeply. 
It seemed that Arya was already done with this conversation as she walked away, going in the direction of Ace. 
I decided not to follow her and let her have her moment so we could have some space to think. It would be pointless to argue. I had always been the type to fight off anything and thought everything would be solved through paws and canines, yet now that I am with Arya, I have to be the bigger person. For my mate. 
I sighed, looking at the trees as they swayed with the breeze. It’s been a moment since I had done some thinking. 
Thinking back to the time that I let her escape, I did not regret doing that. From leaving the Midnight's pack to seeing her past Rogue pack, and being captured by the Red Crows, everything seemed vivid to me.
But what confused me the most is how the moment I left the pack with Arya that night, I seemed to have lost the connection to my brother Zef too. I usually sense if something is wrong with him even when I would travel long distances and he would stay behind.
