Staring at Eric, Lily schooled her face, covering the pain she felt as she said, ‘how do I know that what you say is true? How do I even know that Rose is really alive and you have her?’
Eric nodded, ‘I can understand your reluctance to take my word for it, this is why I promised to return you to your pack unharmed tomorrow, I want you to go and talk to your father and find out that I am telling you the truth. When you confirm my story you will need to make a decision, the offer of my father still stands, you for Rose. If you come back to me here and do the tests, I will send Rose to your pack, she will be your collateral so to speak.’
‘And if I take your tests and fail just like Rose did?’ Lily asked suspiciously.
Eric shrugged, ‘then you return to your pack and Rose returns to me’
