“Ronale POV 4 hadn’t been in the cabin tong malt when I got the feeling I was being watched. I felt like I needed to move on, and I had JUNT Onthered my baby up into my arms, preparing to leave, when suddenly, that sensation went away I was dusk, I went to the window to look out to see if anyone was standing out there. My fingers trembled slightly as 1 went to pull the curtains back to peer outside. Studying the long shadows cost by the trees, I attempted to see anyone was standing there. My concentration was fully on the scene before me when a noise behind me had me jumping, spinning around, ready to protect myself. “Seraphine!” I shouted, collapsing onto the couch I had been leaning over. “Goddess! You scared me to death “Sorry, Rosalie,” she said. “I had it on good authority that you were here. I didn’t mean to frighten you. I knocked lightly before I came in, but I didn’t hear you say anything, and I thought you might be sleeping.” “It’s okay,” I said, patting my boy’s little head. He was still asleep. “I thought someone was out front.” She frowned. “I didn’t see anyone…’ “It doesn’t matter now. That feeling is gone. It could be just some random travelers passing here. I was probably being over sensitive.” I assured her. “No, let’s not risk it. We should get going.’ I understood that she was right, but this cabin had two comfortable beds, and I had been looking forward to sleeping for a few hours. Still, if she thought it was best to keep going now, then that’s what we should do. As we were about to leave, In the distance, we heard loud howling and growls. My eyes went to Seraphine’s face. “What is that?” She cocked an ear and listened for a few moments. “It sounds like the rogues may have been intercepted…” “Are we that close to your pack–our pack?” I asked. It was taking some getting used to, thinking of this place we were traveling to as being my home as well. Seraphine shrugged. “We are about six hours‘ distance from there, but if they came further south, it is possible that they are near enough for us to hear them.” at “Are you certain it wouldn‘t be best for us to travel during the daytime?” It wasn‘t just that I was tired, I didn‘t want to go out at night with a bunch of wolves in the shadows when I couldn‘t shift. Seraphine considered my words before she slowly nodded. “All right. We‘ll go at first light.” *** The next morning, after a few hours of restless sleep, we got up to travel north. Almost from the beginning of our trip, it was clear that whatever battle had gone on the night before had been fairly large and destructive. Blood coated the

grass and sides of trees. Tufts of fur littered the ground, and debris was scattered everywhere. Every once in a while, we’d come across a dead body. Despite the frostiness of the morning, the dawn’s first rays of light had already begun to decay the corpses, and the odor was pungent enough that we could smell them well before we reached the place where they fell. In death, it was impossible to tell whether they were from the east, the west, or the north. They were simply dead wolves my fade en there who attemy til troeter helt wees em to the sky is the sun ajan ta etenkt pige The though made w ith top storiech * move on pret the bottle noene and further month where #prewetter, and I had to wrap my baby up tightar Hy the time # was early afternoon, we were on the outakta ola willinge, and was cher that something was going on here something that had everyone in an upperom, and # wasn‘t my wivel “What’s going on Serat i think at might have somet she rushed off in the direction th Perhaps another one, then. Normally, when people are hurrying this quickly, it’s because others are hurt.’ Seraphine picked up speed, and I followed, holding my son close against my chest. We entered a great hall where several fallen soldiers were lying on cots, all of them in their human forms, and none of king very good. I quickly counted seven of them, with twice as many women tending to them. Their medical supplies seemed to be depleted from what I could tell. Carts of bandages with very few rolls of white left on them sat in the middle of the aisle, and shelves of medicine across the way were also nearly empty. “What’s going on?” Seraphine asked a woman with long hair the same color as hers. “Our warriors are dying,” the woman said, “and we‘re out of medicine to save them.copy right hot novel pub
