Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 12

**Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah**
**Chapter 12**

I found myself racing beyond the furthest reaches of my previous explorations. In mere moments, I had ventured into uncharted territory, far removed from the familiar confines of Damien’s estate. A wave of exhilaration mixed with trepidation washed over me; I was utterly alone now, a solitary figure in the wilderness.

Determined to push my limits, I sprinted up a steep, imposing hill, my legs burning with exertion. When I finally reached the summit and began my descent, I felt the weight of fatigue settle in. At the bottom, I paused to catch my breath, bending over with my hands resting heavily on my knees, gasping for air. I wasn’t out of shape, not by a long shot, but the distance I had just covered was far greater and more intense than any workout I had ever endured at the gym.

Once I regained my breath, I resumed walking, hoping to maintain a steady pace that would take me further away from the house without exhausting myself completely. I recalled the location of the train station, nestled at the edge of the nearest town, and figured that as long as I kept my bearings, I could reach it in an hour or two.

However, I hadn’t gone far when a cacophony of shouts and growls suddenly pierced the air, drawing my attention like a moth to a flame. The sounds of conflict were alarmingly close, and a chill of fear crept down my spine.

My instincts kicked in, urging me to avoid a confrontation with the rogues that prowled these woods like ancient marauders. I quickly ducked into a dense cluster of trees, my heart pounding in my chest as I crept cautiously to the edge of the thicket. Peering through the branches, I was met with a horrifying sight—at least a dozen werewolves were locked in a brutal battle, claws extended and teeth stained with blood. I felt a mix of horror and fascination; I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the chaos.

One side of the fray appeared to consist of rogues. Most werewolves exude a certain grace and control, both in their attire and their movements. But these werewolves were ragged and wild, their energy chaotic and frightening.

In stark contrast, the other group seemed to operate as a cohesive unit, their movements fluid and synchronized even amidst the chaos of battle. They fought with a purpose, working together to repel the rogues.

I stood there, transfixed for a moment, before deciding that it was best to navigate around this violent encounter and continue my journey. I needed to put as much distance as possible between myself and the house before nightfall, when the darkness would force me to slow my pace.

Just as I was about to retreat back into the underbrush, a sudden grip seized the back of my shirt, yanking me into the open.

“A human?” a voice growled, rough and deep, dripping with menace. “How delicious.”
