"Zion! Maxwell! Lance! They're trying to force us toward the middle road; they're herding us! Push back, now!" Addison screamed at the top of her lungs, urgency lacing every word.
The three men froze for a split second as the implications hit them. Then their expressions darkened, murderous, even.
The attackers knew they couldn't go head-to-head with Addison's two Alpha mates or overcome Lance's formidable combat skills. So, instead of trying to break through the line of guards to reach Addison directly, they began flanking the caravan from both sides, herding them toward the middle route.
It was clear now: their goal wasn't to capture Addison themselves, but to force the caravan into a trap, where the dark fairies would be waiting to deal with her and her group.
