Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Into the Alpha’s Den

Selene and Sara crouched low by the edge of the ridge, their appearances already altered.

The enchantment had completely changed their look, going as far as reshaping their faces, even the color of their eyes and hair. Now even they couldn’t recognize themselves.

The enchanted bracelets wrapped around their wrists masked every trace of their true scent. To anyone passing by, they were no more than two frightened human sisters, lost and desperate in the woods.

Selene inhaled deeply, steadying the rapid beat of her heart. She knew every detail mattered. If the disguise failed even for a minute, if one wolf caught the strangeness in their scent, they would truly be done for. Everything would unravel before it even began.

Sara adjusted the bracelet on her wrist with trembling fingers, her lips pressed in a thin line. "Are you sure about this?" she whispered.

Selene’s gaze remained fixed on the dark path below them. "It’s too late to turn back now. They’ll come through here. We just have to play our part."

And as if the fates themselves were listening, the rustle of movement came. The faint thud of padded paws striking the forest floor in a steady and powerful rhythm sent their hearts racing.

The wolves were coming.

Sara’s hand clutched Selene’s arm, and the two exchanged a look—silent, breathless, determined.
