Chapter 149 : Ouroburos - The serpent that devours the horizon
The forest blurred past them as Alden, Charlotte, Seraphina, and Draven ran with every ounce of strength they had, Ava clutched tightly to Alden’s chest.
Her unconscious form pressed against him, her soft breathing a small relief amidst the storm in his mind.
’She was dragged... by her hair.’
His eyes flared with rage.
’And I couldn’t do anything.’
Each pounding step echoed the fury in his heart. Shame poured through him like acid.
’If only I was stronger... If I had power... this wouldn’t have happened!’
His grip around Ava tightened.
He grit his teeth, refusing to let the burning in his legs stop him.
But then—
"FOUND YOU!"
A booming voice echoed through the trees like a thunderclap. The group came to a halt as the earth trembled beneath their feet.
