Chapter 396: Spill Some Blood

"I still think it’s a terrible idea leaving her back there like that," Alaric said with guilt.

"Lila’s dead," Asher replied bluntly. "We’ll give her a proper burial after we rescue Violet and Griffin. Until then, we can’t afford any more delays."

"For someone so loud about protecting Violet, she died too quickly though,"Adele muttered with a snort.

"Yeah, too easily," Asher said, his brows pinching together in thought.

Suddenly, Roman raised his hand. "Stop."

At once, they halted, having learned enough from Lila’s unfortunate fate.

Roman tilted his head, his ears twitching while his now glowing eyes searched the forest.

"I hear it now," Alaric said, tuning into his wolf instincts.

"Not just one, but two. " Asher commented.

Adele murmured, tensing. "And they’re coming my way fast."
