Gareth sighed, his eyes fixed on the side of the road.
I don't want to leave, he thought as he glanced toward the driver's seat. Why do I have to go home?
Sure, Lynsandra wasn't in the harem right now, but that was fine with him. Aside from her sadistic tendency to spoil the books he was reading, it was something he would rather endure than spend a few days back at the pack house.
But somehow, his father was asking him to come home.
"Hmm?" he hummed, turning toward the window on the other side.
Gareth narrowed his eyes, catching sight of someone leaning against a motorbike on the opposite side of the bridge their vehicle was crossing. The man had his back to Gareth's lane, but he looked familiar.
"Didn't he leave?" he murmured. "Why is Elias Hale here?"
Curious, Gareth noticed another vehicle moving slowly through traffic on the opposite side. And there, he recognized it immediately.
August's.
"Are they… going back to the mansion?"
