"We promised them protection, and I will not be the one to break a promise," said Commander Huang Nian Zi of the Sea Dragon's team, his arms crossed against his chest. Sensing conflict the remaining nine members of his team came to stand behind him, wordlessly offering their support.

"Understood," I said, and with a flick of my wrist, I brought the two SUVs back into my space. They wanted to go ahead and rescue everyone they could, all the power to them. But they would be doing it without the luxuries that I provided.

"We'll see you at the Navy Base in City N," said Wang Chao with a nod as we all turned around and went back to where the truck and bikes were waiting for us.

"What did you do with the SUVs?!?" demanded Huang Nian Zu looking around. 

"They are mine," I said, not bothering to turn around. "And since we are splitting up, of course they would stay with me! Have fun!"

I climbed into the cab of the truck and waited for the boys to get on their bikes. 

I had to wonder if the zombies behind us would attack the humans now that I wasn't there, or if they would leave them alone. I didn't care either way, but I also wasn't willing to wait around City N for an extended length of time either if they weren't coming.

Oh well, maybe we could find something fun to do in City N to pass the time. 

Once everyone was all set, Ares and Lin started off first with me in the middle followed by Kronos and Reaper, however, we were quickly stopped.

"You can't leave!" shouted the woman as she, stupidly, walked in front of Ares. 

"Why not?" asked Wang Chao from behind his helmet. 

"You agreed to help us, to bring us to a safe place," she replied as she stepped close enough to put a hand on Ares' handlebars. Now that was a dumb move.

Ares jerked forward fast enough to knock the woman down to the ground and its back wheel started to turn frantically, kicking up dust all over the area and threatening to run her over at the same time.

The woman let out a piercing scream, and I would admit that if I didn't know Ares as well as I did, I would have been intimidated, however, she really should have kept her hands to herself. 

"The one that agreed to look after you is that man right there," said Liu Yu Zeng from where he sat on Lin, watching the show. He didn't bother to take off his helmet either. Probably a good thing. The last thing I needed was more women looking at my men as if they were available. 

"He said that there would be vehicles, and the only cars around here are yours. We can't walk any further," she said as she struggled to get to her feet. I would have to give her props for wearing smart, heavy-duty boots, even if her outfit looked like it had just come off the runway. 

I took in a deep breath, trying to restrain my thoughts and behavior.  I tilted my neck from side to side, trying to loosen the tense muscles. I knew that I shouldn't be that catty to another woman, but sometimes I just couldn't help myself. 

"You are not my problem," I said to the woman standing in front of Wang Chao once again. "And I don't think that it is in your best interest to become my problem. You want someone to save you? There he is," I continued, jutting my chin out in the direction of Huang Nian Zu.

"Not to mention he just put his life and the lives of all of his men on the line for you and yours. You could at least be a bit more grateful," added Liu Yu Zeng.I think you should take a look at

"I want to travel with you guys," insisted the stubborn woman. 

"You can't," said Liu Wei, driving up between Wang Chao and Liu Yu Zeng. Chen Zi Han came up to wait beside Cerberus. For some reason, none of the men were letting me out of their eyesight. Not that I was really complaining.

"Besides, what about your people?" continued Liu Yu Zeng as he rested his arms casually over the handlebars in front of him. Even Lin must have hated her enough that he didn't do anything to Liu Yu Zeng.

The enemy of my enemy and all that, I guess.

"What do you want?" I asked with a sigh. 

"To go with you," came the immediate reply.

"Then I will be dropping you off in City B. Is that okay with you?" I asked, not really caring about her answer. I mean, since I was the official Alpha, I should make sure that my hordes were well-fed, right?

"I heard that the city had been taken over by zombies," said a man, coming to stand beside the leader of their group.

"And?" I asked, not knowing where they were going with that statement. I was sure in less than a month, it would be common knowledge that the city was run by zombies. And it wouldn't be the last one. 

"If we go, we will die," said the man like it was an obvious conclusion. 

It was because that was my plan. But I wasn't exactly going to say that to them.

"If you chose to follow me, then that is the outcome," I said with a shrug. 

"We can't follow them," said the man, looking at the woman beside him. "We've done fine getting to this point; we can keep going on our own."

The woman simply glared at the man. It wasn't that he was wrong, but he didn't take into account just how hard it was to be a leader. Especially if supplies were running out. 

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

"Let's go. If she wants to get in the way again, just run her down," I instructed, no longer in the mood to deal with the crap and drama in front of me.

Everyone had their own path, it was not my place to pave hers for her.
