"Let go of Lithe," Zen shouted. "Do it now!"
"How the hell did you find us?" choked Ashley.
The dominant alpha was releasing angry pheromones and Ash feared for his life, he didn't let go of Lithe instead he gripped his arms tighter.
Determined to use Lithe as a bargaining shield as he awkwardly struggled to stand up while having Lithe in his arms.
There was nowhere to run, the alcove was very small so to get to the exit he would have to brush past the irate dominant alpha.
That looked like he would have already torn Ash to pieces if he'd not been holding on to Lithe.
Not wanting to give Ash another chance to speak much less used that pea sized brain of his Zen dashed across the grass.
Poor Ash didn't even get a chance to react before Zen parted them with force.
With his other hand Zen caught Lithe around his tiny waist and then lifted him putting him over his right shoulder.
