Chapter 189 Lost in the Woods

Nira’s POV:

I scanned the woods around me, but she was nowhere in sight. Lyra couldn’t pick up her scent enter

A knot of dread began tightening in my chest.

I was sure Tessa had been riding right behind me just a minute ago. How could she have vanished like that?

Up ahead, Kade was focused on the race, along with everyone else. Figuring it was best not to disturb the group, I decided to backtrack and search for her alone.

Turning my horse away from the trail, I headed back the way we came.

“Tessa! Tessa, where are you?” My calls echoed through the quiet trees, but there was no reply.

The silence felt heavier with each passing second. I urged my horse forward, retracing our path carefully, eyes sweeping every shadow between the trunks.

Still nothing.

Then, not far along, Lyra caught it–a faint trace of Tessa’s scent, drifting from deep within the forest to our left.

My heart lurched. Without hesitating, I steered my horse off the path and charged toward the smell.

But when I got there, all I found was a single riding boot lying in the dirt. I picked it up, my stomach sinking. It was definitely

Tessa’s.

Kade’s warning from earlier flashed through my mind–these mountains were newly claimed pack territory. Deeper in, there was a restricted zone. Rogues, outlaws… anyone hiding from pack justice might be holed up in there.

Had Tessa wandered into the restricted area?

She came from an elite bloodline, yeah, but she wasn’t exactly a frontline fighter. If a group of feral rogues cornered her…

I didn’t let myself finish the thought. Wheeling my horse around, I dug my heels in and raced straight for the restricted woods.

The deeper I went, the darker it grew. Thick pines and oaks choked out the sunlight, leaving the forest floor in deep shade.

“Tessa! Can you hear me?” I called again, my voice sounding too loud in the eerie quiet.

Then, from somewhere up ahead–a low, rumbling growl. Every muscle in my body went taut.

Out of the dense undergrowth, a massive brown–furred rogue wolf emerged.

It stood well over seven feet tall on its hind legs, matted fur covering layers of hard muscle. Its eyes held a feral, starving glare–the kind that looked right through you as if you were already meat.

Lyra’s instincts screamed at me. This one had been rogue for too long. It couldn’t shift back to human form even if it wanted to. Living wild, fighting to survive–it had lost whatever restraint normal wolves lived by.

It saw other wolves as prey, or competition. And right now, it was staring straight at me.

#cold shiver shot down my spine. I pulled Hayes to a sharp halt. He sensed it too, stamping and snorting nervously beneath me.

Part of me wanted to let yra take over right ther–but I held back. Kade’s patrols could be close. Maybe I didn’t need to fully shift

yet.

Thinking fast, I twisted the ring on my finger. Silver–tipped tranquilizer darts shot toward the rogue.

But its hide was like leather armor. The needles just bounced off, clattering uselessly to the ground.

The rogue let out a deafening roar–not of pain, but of rage. It charged.

Iyanked the reins hard. Hayes spun aside just in time, and the wolf lunged past us, jaws snapping empty air.

It recovered frighteningly fast, already turning for another attack.

Can’t outrun it. Can’t take it head–on. My eyes swept the terrain. A large oak stood a short gallop away, its trunk thick and solid.
