"Get her!" the Lycan King screamed as the fire began licking the curtains. The Lycans spread themselves, a few combatting the fire while the majority went after the thief.
Mia sprinted to the stables and upset the horses, leaving the gates open to let them race off in all directions so as to catch the attention of the Lycans and deter them from catching up with her.
The guards at the gates, upon noticing the chaos in the kingdom, left their posts to offer their support to their colleagues, thus giving Lyra and the now-waking Alpha, Kade, a chance to flee through the gates.
Mia got on a horse and rode hastily past the guards leaving the gates, but as they turned around to leave, Mia joined Alpha Kade and Lyra and shut the gates from outside. She hopped off the horse and exhaled heavily, her ears focused on the chaotic noise of the approaching Lycans.
