Chapter Eighty-One- George Atwood- 23 yrs old

George recovered Xavier from Adriana’s rooms along with the few things she brought with her. He needed to smuggle the dog and items out carefully. Otherwise, he might raise suspicions. This wasn’t easy. He had to do it during the day when there were fewer prying eyes.

The gossipmongers were out in full force at the moment. The truth is, he had to wait three days to catch a break and bribe the mage portal manager to allow him to use it to send a package to a site the dragon shifters gave him. He couldn’t register who would receive the package on the other end, and he couldn’t have a record of him using the portal.

Finally, he sent the package with Xavier and her things off to them. He’d used an untraceable phone to contact them and warn them that Xavier was coming.

George struggled with not knowing if the little dog made it through to them for two days before he could reach anyone safely to ask.
