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.

"Someone’s coming." He announced.

"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."

They all turned toward Adele’s direction. Electricity crackled in Alaric’s palms as he readied himself while Asher and Roman crouched into attack stance, their muscles coiled for fight. The trees rustled louder as the footsteps came closer and closer.

Suddenly, two young girls burst out of the treeline, screaming at the sight of them.

"Please don’t hurt us!" one of them cried, shivering.

The Alphas and Adele glanced at each other, thrown off.

Adele then stepped forward carefully. "It’s okay. We’re not here to hurt you." She could see the raw distrust in their eyes.
