He squared his shoulders, willing away the emotion bubbling inside him at the thought of leaving Rhene, then looked at Cedric. “Are you ready to go? Is there anything we need?”
“Only anything you want to bring home with you. If you can carry it, I can bring it.”
He didn’t need anything. He had enough clothes back home, and he didn’t care about anything else right now. “I’m ready.”
“Outside is easier,” Cedric said. What did he mean? Right, the omega was waiting for him to go first. Of course. Another one of those stupid alpha things.
He walked outside, where a crowd had gathered around the meeting tent, sensing something was going on. Not so much Erwan leaving as the whole drama before that, which all seemed irrelevant right now.
“I need to hold your hands,” Cedric said, and it sounded like an apology.
“You do whatever you need to do. I’m counting on you.”
“If you haven’t done this much, it can be disorienting. You may experience some nausea after we arrive, but it’ll be over in a few minutes.”
“Okay.” Considering he’d already thrown up earlier when he found out about the red tent, he doubted he had anything left in his stomach.
“Hold on, and don’t let go.”
Cedric took his hands, and a warm glow spread through Erwan’s body. He closed his eyes. As much as he wanted to take a last look at Rhene, he couldn’t. If he saw his mate, he might never find the courage to leave.
Everything started shaking, like an earthquake was happening. Things whooshed by, but he kept his eyes clenched shut. Something told him he wouldn’t like it if he opened them. He was cold and growing chillier by the minute, an icy wind whipping around his body. It felt like he stood on rock, then snow, but only for a moment, and so he kept his eyes closed.
“Hang on,” Cedric said. As if Erwan had any intention of letting go.
He had no idea how long it lasted, but finally, his feet landed on solid ground again, even though he was still shaking.
“You can open your eyes,” Cedric said.
Erwan blinked against the warm light of the morning sun that stood low in the sky. “Where are we?”
“We made a few stops in between for safety, but we’re now half a mile north of our compound,” Cedric said. “I didn’t want to get closer. If the guards pick up on us, they may want to investigate, and we don’t have time for that.”
“We’re in Canada? Already?”
Cedric nodded, smiling. “I take it you have little experience teleporting?”
“That was my first time.”
Cedric gasped. “Oh my gosh, if you had told me, I would’ve explained more so you’d be prepared. I apologize, Your Majesty.”
“I’m sorry, but things are a little vague right now, probably because of the shock. Were you one of the omegas who said they wanted to transition to my clan?”
“I am. If the offer still stands.”
“Absolutely. Look, Cedric, can I be frank with you?” When Cedric nodded, Erwan continued, “As you may have guessed, my clan is very different from what you’re used to. One of the things is that I don’t care about my title. So please, call me Erwan. I understand it may take some getting used to, so just try it. I promise I won’t get upset if you forget about it, but it would mean a lot to me if you used my name.”
“You want me to call you by your first name?”
“Yes, please. I’m serious.”
“I will do my best…Erwan.”
“Thank you. Now, what’s our next step?”
“For the next part, I need your help. I can only teleport to places I have been to, and obviously, I’ve never been to your…house? Castle?”
“We live on a massive ranch.”
