The Alpha Bond 124

I was beyond exhausted. Every muscle in my body ached, my limbs felt like lead, and my brain was struggling to keep up with reality.

Eira had put us through hell today-scorching deserts, frozen tundra, and shadow- infested forests—all to test our adaptability. I had fought under the relentless sun, my body dehydrated and burning. I had battled through a storm of ice and snow so bitterly cold that my bones felt like they would crack.
