Chapter 88: _The Blood Oak Woods
I scanned my gaze around my surroundings, cautious and alert of any sounds and sights that might be suspicious.
There was a wide path for walking up ahead— the same path that Kaelos and his delegates had used to accompany me to the pack in the first place.
It was also the path that Alpha Katherine had used to head back to her pack some minutes earlier. And if my guesses were correct... The other Alphas who hadn’t yet come out of the pack would use this path as well.
To my right was a thick forest with tall, ominous trees, all mostly red oaks whose barks were almost blood-like in appearance.
The Blood Oak Woods.
"I can’t take the path ahead because that would lead me to other werewolf packs and possibly the Luminari coven," I muttered to myself, shaking my head as I tried controlling my breathing which was becoming rapid by the minute.
I couldn’t go back to the Luminari coven. I couldn’t go back home because there was a high chance that they would just ship me back to Kaelos or worse... Give me a punishment.
I was basically putting the treaty in jeopardy right now but I didn’t have a choice. Waiting for things to get better for me at the Blood Oak pack would be a death sentence.
Suddenly, my ears perked up when I heard approaching cars coming from behind me.
I glanced back and spotted a few cars coming from the direction of the Blood Oak pack. Those were definitely the Alphas who came to visit.
In a panic, I scurried out of the path and bolted toward the Blood Oak woods, going deep inside until I was away from the road.
