Chapter 16- Darkness
It was weird to touch. The skin felt spongy.
After walking for three hours, I felt I could collapse at any moment. But the pain that was slowly overtaking my body, wouldn’t let me rest.
I had to reach Blood Stone Pack and ask for help.
Every few steps, I had to pause and lean against a tree, breathing hard. I couldn’t afford to pass out now.
Not here when I was this close.
The handkerchief over my face had dried, but I didn’t take it off. I was scared to remove it. What if they started crawling all over my body?
This was nothing but a side effect of traveling through the forest. I never stayed in a dense jungle this long.
Their territory must be nearby because now I could hear sirens in the distance. They might have thought that I was an intruder.
I kept walking, waiting for them to approach me.
Suddenly, a guttural growl echoed through the forest, stopping me in my tracks.
"You’re trespassing," a deep voice snarled, "Stop now or be killed."
I froze, raising my hands slowly, even when the itching on my face got too much to control. Two massive werewolves emerged from the shadows, their eyes glowing in suspicion.
