Chapter eighty seven: no one is an island
(What is he doing here? Can we trust him?)
Even as Semeen asked Alexander that question through the mind link, she could feel the new rescued wolves trying to stop themselves from turning and attacking Jared.
(Do not turn. I repeat do not turn. He is a friend)
Alexander wondered whether the new wolves would pay heed to his words.
"Lord Jared, what are you doing here?" Alexander asked him
"The crown princess sent me. She said your highness might need my help and I am here to offer it. No questions asked. What do you need Milord?" Jared's loyalty was unwavering.
"I need a place outside Aradale for them. It has to be a place away from prying eyes and safe" Alexander explained further.
He wondered whether Jared would ask him later why he was in a pauper's clothes?
Common sense dictates Jared knows he was involved in something illegal.
