Chapter 150

AVA POV

My parents had instilled the importance of being careful and because of this, I had never experienced anything extreme- no broken bones, no close calls, and certainly never anything as severe as burns.

But if I had ever gotten burned, I imagine the pain would feel something like what I was enduring now–only this was worse.. Much worse. It was as though every nerve in my body had been gnited, each flare of pain sharper than the last.

1 groaned, struggling to open my eyes, only for the memories to slam into me with brutal clarity.

The panic attack.

The hunters.

“There’s something you need to see.”

And then… darkness…

My eyes flew open at the thought of the hunters, panic slicing through the fog in my mind. I sat up abruptly, only to wince as the fiery ache flared even stronger, threatening to drag me back down. Forcing myself to push past it, I glanced around, preparing for the worst. Whatever the hunters had done–or wherever they had taken me—I was ready to face it.

But when my surroundings came into focus, I was met with something I hadn’t expected. Trees. Towering trees, their branches swaying lightly despite the still air. The colors were sharper than they should’ve been, almost surreal—vivid greens, browns, and the faint glow of golden light filtering through the canopy. The air was heavy but strangely fresh, carrying the faint scent of moss and damp earth.

Something about this place felt…

“You’re awake.”

Song. Or maybe not wrong. Just off.

The familiar voice pulled my attention. Turning my head, I saw Grayson standing a few feet away, his gaze fixed on me. His face was unreadable, his expression as hard as stone. I knew that look well–he had pulled his emotional walls back up, shutting me out completely.

I let out a sigh, pushing myself up to my feet. My body protested every movement, the pain coursing through me like flames licking at my skin. Grayson stepped closer, offering his hand. I hesitated, but when I reached for it, his grip was firm, steadying me as I found my balance.

“Thanks,” I muttered, brushing off the momentary vulnerability

He didn’t respond. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the forest, his posture rigid.

Clearing my throat, I gestured around us. “Where are we?”

“I don’t know,” he said flatly. His voice was almost robotic, void of any warmth. “My wolf is gone again, so you’ll need to reach out psychically and call for someone to get us out of here. We need to start moving.”
