It wasn’t raining hard at first, but as I left the borders and entered the forest, I could understand what the lieutenant had been getting at. It was pouring quite heavily. Mud covered the narrow path, making it very slippery and extremely difficult for cars to drive through.

Though my black-furred wolf form was agile and gave me the ability to cut corners and run more freely in the forest, I felt it hard to continuously move at a fast speed. Especially when I was still feeling the effects of Adalyn’s drug.

After a while, my fur was drenched and I had to stop every so often to shake off the water. My lungs began to ache after so much physical effort and my vision was narrow because of the growing mist in the forest.

I stopped under a tall tree with a thick and broad trunk to catch my breath and take a short rest. The scent of pine filled my nose and brought me a moment of pleasure though the rest of my physical form was tired.

I sat down and looked around at my surroundings. I noticed to my left, not very far in the distance, there seemed to be a small, wooden house. It wasn’t that unusual a sight. Those houses were s cattered throughout the forest for patrolling soldiers to take a rest if they needed to during their night duties. Their hours were long and it was the least we could do ease their struggle.

As I stared out at the wooden house, I thought I saw movement. I wasn’t sure if it was delusion, or perhaps some lingering side effects from the drug still in my system, but I thought I saw someone entering the wooden house,

I frowned. It was far too early for someone to be taking a break on their shift, as it was still fairly early in the afternoon.

As I tried to spy on the moving figures, my mind raced. It could be rogues. We were close to the borderlands and sometimes there would be ruffians from
