Chapter 434: Into the Lion's Den
Astrid's POV
The rogues had been waiting for me.
They lingered in the shadows, motionless, like predators poised for the perfect moment to strike. Their eyes glowed eerily in the dim light of the moon, flickering with something sinister-anticipation.
They knew I was coming.

A ripple of cruel laughter followed.
I clenched my fists at my sides, but said nothing.
My silence only seemed to encourage them.
Another rogue, this one broader with a scar running down his cheek, smirked. "Didn't think it'd be this easy," he mused. "I figured we'd at least get a fight out of her."
