The drive from Royal territory to High Crest would only take about an hour using the private road our convoy was taking.
"I always appreciate this direct route," Carson commented as we turned onto a smooth, well-maintained road that cut through a dense section of forest. "Makes the trip much faster."
"One of the perks of being Alpha," I replied, recognizing the exclusive access road that connected the territories. With my background in territory mapping, I'd studied the official borders extensively.
"And being friends with royalty," Carson added with a half-smile. "Only those directly approved by Alexei or Odette from their side, and me from ours, can use this road."
