Chapter 80
Ethan stared at me for a long moment. I knew that I wasn’t hiding my frustration with everything well… Or at all. And to me he was the only one who could really give me any information, but he seemed about as lost as I was.
“Honestly,” He started, but I could see the worry on his face with my question. I hadn’t told him that Grace had had a run in with Kinsley, but I also knew with these questions, he was starting to piece things together and was worried like I was. “I don’t know specifics. Everything I have gathered has been gathered second or third hand information, and a lot of digging, and through books and folklore. None of it is known to be for sure
true.”
“But what do you know?” I tried pleading for anything that could help me protect my
Grace.
“Just that she must be extremely powerful for Kinsley and Adrian to go through so much trouble to neutralize her… They would have to be quite scared I think to go through such trouble to even maybe get their hands on her.”
“But how did they know she was near?” I asked, running my hand through my hair
frustratedly.
“She’s safe now, right?” Ethan asked, ignoring my question.
I debated giving him an answer, but decided that if I wanted his help, I thought it was only fair to give him some information if I expected him to help me.
“She’s resting right now. She was lucky to get out of there unharmed.”
“You know I’m trusting you to protect her… And you’re not doing such a good job…”
“I’m doing my best with the information I have.” I snapped at him. “And you are in no position to talk about protecting her considering you got caught and are in a prison cell.”
Ethan glared at me, but we both knew it was the truth. He had struggled to protect her for far longer than I had even known about her existence, let alone fallen in love with her. I had to give him some credit, he had kept decent tabs on her, and he had done what he could as a child. He had been right before, there was no way he would have been able to get her out of there safely and then protected her from rogues. They seemed to keep too

close of an eye on her and were going to much further lengths than I ever expected them to so they could get her back. I think the only reason they had let me take her out of their pack was because I am the Alpha King. They didn’t see a choice and used her as leverage. They never thought I would keep her…
Wait… They never thought I would keep her. They probably still thought I didn’t want to keep her. That I wouldn’t care if they took her back. They still didn’t see that she was so much more than whatever they were trying to keep hidden.
“I understand that Grace shouldn’t be able to reach out with her Lycan since she’s bound… But could they reach out and sense her?” I asked cautiously, unsure if I was ready for the answer.
Ethan pondered the question for a moment, before saying, “Theoretically, no. However, she is clearly a powerful Lycan. Even bound, they are terrified of her and what she can do… So, it would seem that some of her abilities might be, for lack of a better term, leaking through making it so they could sense her, but since she isn’t necessarily connected to that piece of herself, she couldn’t sense them. My guess though is that they would need to be nearby to sense her though.”

He seems to have forgotten that he recently kicked his brother Caleb out and allowed his crazy ex back into the pack, a woman who basically said she would kill Grace. Also, why did Kinsley
