Chapter 30 A Desperate Escape

The darkness of the Ghostwood Forest felt suffocating as Kaela and the She-Wolves fled through the underbrush, their feet moving with frantic urgency. The air was thick with the scent of pine and damp earth, but their minds were clouded with the same thought: escape. The danger was closing in, the forces of Ulrich and Rovan growing nearer with each passing moment. Their only hope was the underground tunnels that led to a forgotten place, one that had once been home to their ancestors, a sanctuary from the world they now fought to escape. Raya and Terren led the way, their movements swift and calculated, their experience guiding them through the maze of tunnels. Kaela, Elira, and the others followed closely behind, their breath ragged as the weight of their situation pressed heavily upon them. Dane’s betrayal still lingered in Kaela’s chest like a wound that refused to heal, but there was no time for grief, no time to dwell on the past. Survival was the only thing that mattered now.
