Because something was off.
The wind had been at our backs when we entered the forest, carrying scents from ahead. Now it had shifted, blowing from behind us. If Cornelius was ahead with Nina, why couldn’t I smell any trace of them?
And the blood trail-
I frowned, replaying the last few minutes in my mind. The trail had stopped abruptly at that massive oak tree. Kieran said Nina had probably been carried from that point.
But I’d seen claw marks on the trunk. Fresh ones. Pointing southeast.
We were heading northwest toward the creek.
“Move out,” Regis ordered quietly.
I fell into step, but my pulse was racing now. Should I tell him?
I glanced at Regis’s wolf form prowling ahead, every line of him coiled for violence. He was already stretched thin, managing thirty warriors and his own barely–controlled fury at what had been done to someone under his protection.
Later, I decided. When we reach the camp. When I’m sure.
Wild Mint Creek cut through a small clearing, the water running clear and cold over smooth stones. On the bank sat a crude tent–door hanging open, interior dark.
Empty.
But not abandoned. Not cleanly.
Silver manacles lay scattered in the dirt, still stained with blood. Shattered glass from medicine vials crunched under Kieran’s boots as he swept through the camp. Torn fabric–once part of a shirt–fluttered from a low branch.
The signs of struggle were visible. But no bodies.

His smile was a slash of white in the chaos. “Regis Vane. I expected better.”
Regis’s wolf wheeled to face him, lips peeled back from fangs as long as my fingers.
Silas chuckled, low and cruel. “Cornelius sends his regards.
He raised his free hand, and the rogue wolves surged forward as one.
The battle exploded.
