Chapter 238: Buying Time

Edrick

I ran for a long time to try to find Moana. Because of the fierce wind and the rain, her scent got a bit jumbled and my own wolf’s tracking abilities were slightly dulled. Not only that, but because of the rain there were multiple small mudslides in the forest, and more than once I found myself slipping and sliding and getting turned around on my path.

I could sense that something was wrong, though. I sensed someone else… And it wasn’t Kat or any of the other bodyguards.

Moana seemed to be in distress, beyond what was reasonable for someone who got lost in the rain. And after what Ella told me about my father, I could imagine what was happening.

I just hoped that I would get to her in time.

Finally, her scent became stronger. Before, it was faint and I was even beginning to think that I was going to lose it entirely and that I would never find her. It became a lot stronger all of a sudden, in fact. My senses were suddenly overcome by her scent, and I felt myself being drawn straight to her.

Feeling myself filled with a new sense of hope, I shot forward through the forest in the direction that Moana’s scent was emanating from.
