Chapter 25

Ishia POV

We were back on the road. All I wanted to do was get there and get things done. Ava had a little trouble last night getting sick in the middle of the night. I knew it was natural; she did this with Kayla. So, I hopped in the car to get some crackers for her. As long as she doesn't ask for pickles and donuts, I'm good. Yes, that's what she ate when she was pregnant with Kayla. She would put the pickle on top of the donut and eat it like that. I shivered at the thought. When I got back with the crackers and ginger ale, she was already asleep. I placed the crackers on the table and the drink on the table beside her. I got into bed but couldn't sleep. It kept going through my head how those rogues wanted to stop me from getting to my destination. I was proud of Kayla, but I swear she gets more dangerous by the day. She has a little of my dad and my mom inside her and a whole lot of me. Things can go wrong really fast, and I do not want that to happen.

When I did get some sleep, morning came way too fast. We showered and got ready to head out. I knew she was hungry, but what I really wanted to do was hit the road. I told her once we were on the road, we would stop somewhere to eat. She agreed she wanted to get there as well. I told Kayla the same thing; she agreed. I had a feeling she was tired of being on the road. I saw dark circles under her eyes; she didn't get too much sleep. She was probably up reading late like she always does. We finally got on the road. I saw a few wolves running in the woods. I had a feeling the so-called king sent them to watch over us, but then again, they could be rogues watching us to try to keep us from getting there. We were on the road for four hours when we finally stopped to eat. Ava was getting grumpy, and so was Kayla. We stopped at a Burger King. I mind-linked everyone in the other cars, letting them know where we were stopping. They gave me their orders. When I put the orders in the speaker, she was stunned. I bet she thought what I ordered was just for us. We pulled up at the window, giving her my payment for the food. Hawk pulled beside our car, and we passed him the drinks and then his food. The other car pulled up beside us. I gave them their drinks and food, and then we finally got ours. The girl in the window finally understood. I nodded at her and thanked her for the food and drinks. We parked under some trees to eat. Once done and everyone was happy, we hit the road again. We were only a few hours away. I was so sick of driving, but Ava didn't want to drive, and I really didn't want Kayla driving. I wanted to get there alive and safe. At the corner of my eye, I saw another wolf. I sped up, speeding as fast as I could go. This SUV can go 140 miles an hour, so it's pretty fast. I was almost out of their border when my phone started to ring. My phone hadn't rung since we left the pack grounds. Ava answered it while I was driving.

Hello, who's this?” When she answered the phone, I smirked. She's been listening when I answer calls from unknown numbers, but a weird voice came on the phone.

“Can you slow down? We are not rogues; we are trackers of the king. We were sent to make sure you arrive safely. If you keep speeding like that, the king will not be too happy with us if you arrive harmed.” I still did not understand how they got my number, but since I knew who they are now, I can slow down. However, I did reply to them; I didn't want Ava to hang up without me saying something to them.

“Well, then you should have made yourself known to us before you started to run beside the car. I assumed you know my number since you called my phone. If you don't mind, the GPS says we are two hours away, so I'm hanging up now.” Ava didn’t say anything else. She hung up right when this so-called tracker was saying something about who knows; I don't really care. So this jerk sent trackers to follow us. I'm really fed up with this nonsense. Should I stop the car, turn it around, and head back home, or should I just keep going and find out what he actually wants? I decided to keep going; we have already come this far. Why turn back now? It would just be a waste of money and gas anyway.

“I know what you're thinking, my love, but if we turn back now, it would just be a waste of time and gas, honey. Let's just keep going and see what this jackass has to say to us. Let's do what we need to do and then leave.” She was right; let's just get there, do what we need to do, and then go home. I looked into my rearview mirror at our daughter. She was looking out the window. I wonder what she sees. I knew she was looking at the wolves running in the woods, but what else is she seeing? I bet she sees a whole lot more. I knew she has powers; her sight can see things that no one else does. I noticed that when she was just a child, just a little girl. We had company; people came to ask for help with their pack. They needed money because their houses were crumbling down. I gave them twenty grand and told them they had three years to pay me back. This would give them enough time to build, get everything done, and then work on paying me back. They did pay back the money. However, my daughter saw something. She told me that rogues were going to their pack to burn it down and take over. A year later, the rogues did come to try that, but we were there to stop them. If it weren't for my daughter's powers, their pack would have been burnt down. I haven't asked if she had seen anything else; I'm sure if she had seen anything else, she would have told us. We stopped for gas once more and then got back on the road. I can't wait to get there; I would love to get out of this car for a bit.
