Chapter 186
~Author’s POV~
The shrill ringtone pierced the tense silence of the dense forest, and all six pairs of predatory eyes snapped toward the sound. Kane glanced down at his phone, his breath hitching when he saw Kylian’s name flashing on the screen.
"Shit," he muttered under his breath, cursing his carelessness. Without hesitation, he bolted, the warriors springing into action the moment he moved.
The forest came alive with the sound of snapping branches and pounding feet. Kane zigzagged through the dense foliage, his chest heaving as he pushed himself to the limit. Behind him, the warriors closed the distance with unrelenting precision.
Draven, however, had other plans. He darted off to the side, his movements eerily silent as he disappeared into the shadows.
Kane’s heart raced as he caught a glimpse of the trees thinning up ahead. Relief surged through him when he realized he was nearing the edge of the forest.
Almost there.
But just as the thought crossed his mind, the sound of feet skidding on dirt caught his attention. Kane turned his head to see one of the warriors flanking him, claws bared and aiming for his legs.
