Chapter 224

Daran was certain that he heard Janet’s voice at some point.

But he didn’t know if that was just another of his hallucinations.

He heard her voice all the time during the past few weeks, sometimes during the daytime, sometimes in his dreams.

She was calling for his help and telling him that she was trapped and alone, which made his heart ache.

The love of his life was waiting for him to rescue her.

Yet he couldn’t find a way across this damn forest!

Daran took in a deep breath, letting the crisp mountain breeze clear his mind a bit.

“Let’s return to the campsite,” he said deeply to the soldier.

The werewolf’s campsite was built on the edge of the mist forest.

At first, the campsite had more than 100 people.

Casper, Kass and soldiers from Blood Moon Pack and Riverside Pack were all gathered here, attempting the rescue of Janet.

But Casper was called back to Blood Moon Pack a week later because Balvina was pregnant.

Then Kass left as well. As the rogue king, he had a duty back at the Grace Ruin.

Now they were approaching the one–month mark, and Daran was the only one who still kept his post.

Daran strode into the tent.

The room quieted down immediately at his appearance.

“Any progress today?” he asked in a deep voice.

People exchanged frustrated looks with each other in silence.

Daran asked the same question every day.

Yet he knew everyone knew–that there would not be any progress as long as the log was still there.

“No?”
