“I’m coming as well,” Robbie said, jumping up.
Cresswell joined them.
“Don’t leave the castle,” Berni said as they rushed out of the room.
Clairmont chose that moment to walk in. “Are you all staying in here? If so, shall I make more coffee?”
“I think we’re finished in here, thank you, Clairmont. I’ll take everyone to the morning room and then go and see Andrew’s family,” Aubrey replied.
“Can I come with you?” Samantha asked.
Aubrey smiled. “Thank you, Samantha. Christine, are you coming as well?”
“I will do. I met Andrew’s parents the other day.”
“Mum, are you sure you shouldn’t stay in the castle?” Ezzy asked.
Aubrey shook her head. “No, we need to see Andrew’s family.”
“I’ll come with you,” Jacob offered.
“We’ll all come,” Ezzy said. “Except for you, Joe, you should show your parents around the castle.”
“Nonsense, young man,” Morty said. “We can come as well and protect both Alpha Mates if needed.”
“We can walk there, Andrew’s family live on the estate to the East. Clairmont, if my husband returns before we do, can you let him know where we are?”
Clairmont shook his head but said, “Certainly, Your Grace. Expect lecturers when your husband and son return though.”
Aubrey laughed, not in the least bit fazed by the butler’s announcement. “I might tell him he can raise the drawbridge, that should appease him.”
Ezzy, Finn, Joe, and Jacob tried to smother their laughter.
Aubrey glared at them. “Am I missing something? What dastardly plan are you troublemakers concocting?”
“Really, Mummy, that’s rude. We’re just sat here enjoying life and you accuse us of plotting something. How could you?”
“Because your mother knows you, and we all know what boys your age are like,” Christine replied before Aubrey could.
Ezzy looked at his friends and sighed. “So rude.”
“And on that note, we’ll be off, Clairmont,” Aubrey said, leading the way.
Frank reachedAndrew’s body a few moments before the others arrived. He was kneeling down next to him, looking at the wounds. “He was shot. Who shoots wolf shifters?”
“Have you checked the dungeons? There should be a young man in them,” Bern asked, reaching them.
“I did, Alpha. There’s only the two from the other day in there,” an enforcer said.
“Then chances are Nidal did this. Fan out and search the area for any strange wolf scents, but proceed with caution. Try and bring him back alive,” Berni ordered.
“I’ll help you search as it’s my fault Nidal is here,” Cresswell said. “I’ll pay whatever restitution is requested for this poor enforcer’s family.”
“Thank you for the offer, but you brought Nidal here with the best of intentions.”
As they were chatting more enforcers turned up, many in wolf form.
“Find that rogue wolf,” Frank told them and watched the enforcers all head off in the same direction.
