Lily Carter POV
My heart was racing as I rushed through the nursery doors to find the puppies safe and sound. I looked around and saw two confused guards looking at me. There was no attack and no bad guys. Just two sleepy dogs in their beds.
One of them asked, "Miss Carter?" "Is everything wrong?"
I took a deep breath and looked around. "The alarm... someone said rogues were taking the pups."
The guards looked at each other. "Don't attack here. The warning went off at the northern border.
Before I could figure out what this meant, I heard heavy footsteps behind me. I turned to see Caleb, followed by Aiden and Brock, all breathing hard from running.
"The pups?" Caleb asked quickly.
"They're fine," I said, my mind running. "But someone lied about an attack here."
Aiden's eyes narrowed. "A trap. To separate you from us."
"We need to get you back to the house," Brock growled, already turning to the door.
