The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 338

Chapter 0338 Do you really think theyd hide a flag in a cave that could hardly be seen ? Tabby asked as we made our way through the dark cave .

The drone that was above our heads had gone off to find someone they could actually keep an eye on , refusing to follow us into the cave .

Now that I was thinking about it , it was probably a bad sign .

But I ignored that feeling and continued on my way .

Honestly , yes , I said , glancing over my shoulder at her .

She was staying by the caves entrance , a nervous look in her eyes .

There could be dangerous animals in here , she said , nibbling on her lower lip .

Since when are you afraid of a wild animal ? I asked teasingly .

She was typically braver than that ..

She pressed her lips in a line and followed me through a cave .

For humans , it would be impossible to see as we walked through the cave .

But we were shifters , so it was a lot easier .

My heart started to pound heavily against my chest as we continued making our way through the cave .

It was damp , and there were rocks we had to get over , but for the most part , we managed to reach the middle of the cave without too many issues .

Both Tabby and I seemed comfortable climbing over the rocks ; we were both fairly effortless in our movements .

A low growl emerged from deeper in the cave , making us freeze entirely .

With a racing heart , I slowly turned , and then I saw yellow beady eyes staring back at me , sharp teeth elongated as the growl continued through the darkness .

Is that a wolf ? Tabby asked , stepping back , ready to shift if needed .noveldrama

No , I said , swallowing the lump in my throat .

The longer I stared at it , the more familiar it started to get , but I knew for certain that it wasnt a wolf .

This was an actual wild animal , and if we werent careful , we could be its lunch .

It wasnt until it lunged towards us that I knew for sure what it was , Holy shit ! Tabby gasped , quickly dodging the attack , falling to the ground in the process .

Yeah , its a black bear , I warned her , my suspicions confirmed .

And we just stepped into its territory .

I should have known there would be a bear somewhere in this cave ; I was dumb to think it would be unoccupied .

The bear lunged at us again and , this time managed to claw a part of my arm , making me wince as I staggered backward .

I felt blood trickle down my shoulder , but I ignored it , keeping my attention on the bear in front of me .

Judy , look , Tabby said , pointing to the bear .

Around its neck .

I followed her finger , and my breathing hitched .

Around its neck was one of our flags .
