Chapter 176: He caught her
Abrielle was in pain; she bit it back, her lips close to bleeding. Abrielle struggled to get on her feet very subtly not to draw attention to herself. Luckily it seemed Cedric and Callista were so drawn to their conversation they didn’t seem to notice Abrielle.
The red-haired princess had no idea that no sense skips Cedric’s attention, not even the slightest sound due to his remarkable senses. Not to mention her distinct rose and strawberry mixed scent, he always noticed every time unless when he was blinded by rage, but he didn’t turn back.
Abrielle slowly backed away, she was scared to get noticed. She had to find another route and avoid coming across people since she reeked of smoke.
She hadn’t gone too far from the spot where she fell when someone grabbed her by the waist and covered her mouth to muffle out any sound she would try not to make.
She was torn between struggling and trying to scream for help or not. Cedric was close with Callista. Why were things getting more complicated by the second? "Don’t make a sound." The person whispered in her ears.

"You seem distracted," Cedric mentioned. His gaze was on the priestess who refused to stay down after being treated and wanted to go to the forest to help Lucian out. Cedric didn’t let her and they were having a heated argument until Callista’s attention was drawn by something.
She had a little frown in between her brows, her eyes trying to look above Cedric’s shoulder which was close to impossible because of his towering height of over 200m.
She shook her head, "I feel a bit tired. I am really worried about him, I wonder how long it will take for Lucian to return. Those wolves were weirdly strong." Callista replied with her voice laced with concern. She didn’t mention anything related to her previous observations.
