1 burst out of the meeting room, my heart hammering in my chest. I was afraid.

The discussion about the sudden attack by the Ferals faded in my mind. All I could think of was Lax telling me that Lyla was in danger.

That girl was going to be the bane of my existence. Couldn’t she just listen to me for once? If she hadn’t left the pack, all of this wouldn’t have happened. I stormed over to the outer gates,

“Didn’t you hear when I said the life we’re saving is more important than the risk?” I said coldly. “You’re free to wait here or come with me. Don’t block my path.”

With a frustrated sigh, Lenny finally moved away. I walked into the forest, while Lenny followed me. I followed Lyla’s trail, concentrating on it alone as we went deeper into the forest. As we rounded a bend, Lax pranced inside me, surging forward…
