Chapter 410: Dual Entrapment

Astrid's POV

The air felt sharper, heavier. Ryder's words lingered, a warning that sent a jolt of adrenaline surging through me. "It's a trap."

Killian's hand tightened around mine briefly before he let go, signaling silently to the warriors around us.

His golden eyes locked onto mine, and without speaking, I understood. Be ready.

The rogues emerged from the shadows like wraiths, their movements swift and predatory.

My heart pounded as Killian raised a hand, signaling our group to spread out and form a defensive line.

The moonlight gleamed off their weapons, but it was their eyes-feral, unrelenting- that sent a shiver down my spine.

The rogue king's voice broke through the stillness, cold and calculated. "You've been followed, Cedric."

Cedric spun around, his eyes wide in shock and fear as his gaze darted toward the trees.

The rogue king didn't even glance back at us. Instead, he extended a hand, gesturing to the rogues. "Take care of it."

That was the only warning we got before chaos erupted.

The first rogue lunged, their blade, made of silver and reeking with the scent of wolfsbane, aimed for Killian.

He sidestepped effortlessly, his claws extending in a blur as he struck, sending the rogue sprawling.
