LOGINMila’s POV“Welcome to Eryland.”The woman’s voice lingered in the air long after she spoke, soft but powerful, like it carried something deeper than just sound.I couldn’t look away from her.There was something… unnatural about her snd of course she was stunning.Knox stepped slightly in front of me, instinctively placing himself between me and her.Protective as ever.“We’re looking for a healer,” he said.Straight to the point, we didn’t come all this way for small talks.The woman’s lips curved faintly.“I know why you’re here.”Of course she did that seemed to be the theme of this place.She turned without another word.“Follow me.”And we did.Eryland was… unreal.That was the only way to describe it.The ground beneath our feet felt softer, almost like it was alive. The air shimmered faintly, and the plants around us glowed in shades I couldn’t even name.Nothing looked ordinary.Nothing felt ordinary.Even the silence here was different Like the land itself was breathing.Hans
Mila’s POV….“Hansel—stay still.”Knox’s voice cut through the panic and tension, he inspected the wound to see if it was infected.Hansel’s breathing came out uneven, her fingers digging painfully into my arm as she tried to hold back another cry.“It hurts—damn it, it hurts—!”“I know,” Conrad said, already dropping beside her.He tore off his shirt in one rip, my eyes widened and Hansel looked at me with googly eyes.Holy was he ripped.His muscles were taut snd his biceps were huge.“Wow” Rina said I couldn’t stop staring and I felt eyes glaring at me I turned to see Knox glaring at me and I looked away immediately Conrad used the shirt to tie up the wound “This is to prevent more bleeding and infection” he told her “Ok sure” he said My stomach twisted as I looked at her with worry “Is it—?” I started.“Venomous,” Conrad said flatly.My heart dropped.Hansel let out a weak, shaky laugh.“Oh, fantastic. I’m dying in a creepy forest. Just how I imagined it.”“You’re not dying
Mila’s POV…I woke up gasping, air tore into my lungs like I had been drowning.My body jerked violently as I sat upright, my chest heaving, my heart slamming so hard it felt like it might burst out of my ribs.The dark figures, I looked around and couldn’t see them“Born from darkness—”“No—!” I choked out, my voice breaking.“Mila.” Someone shouted jerking me I looked up into bright green eyes, Knox The sound of his voice cut through the chaos in my head.My eyes snapped open fully i wasn’t in that place anymore, I was back in the motel room.Hansel was beside me on the bed, her hand gripping my arm tightly. Conrad stood near the door, alert and in a fighting stance.Knox held me tightly“You’re okay,” he said, his voice low but firm.I wasn’t I could still feel it the darkness and the cold.The way it had swallowed me whole my breathing came out uneven, shaky.“I—” I tried to speak, but my voice cracked.Knox reached for the glass of water on the table beside the bed and handed i
Mila’s POV….I couldn’t sleep.I tossed and turned and tossed and let out a groan.Hansel was already sleepi beside me, just then something soft played in my ears and I went to sleep immediately.One minute I was lying on the motel bed beside Hansel, staring at the cracked ceiling, listening to the faint sounds outside…And the next everything went still, I couldn’t hear anything just whispers and It felt like… being pulled.I frowned slightly in my sleep, my body shifting unconsciously.Then everywhere became pitch dark.Not the kind you close your eyes into. This one was deeper and endless Like I had fallen into something with no bottom.I tried to move but couldn’t, I tried to speak but nothing came out.A strange pressure built in my chest.Then I heard a sound, it was soft at first, barely there like something whispering from far away.“Mila…”My breath hitched.I knew that voice my eyes snapped open but I wasn’t in the motel room anymore.I was standing barefoot on the cold gr
Knox’s POVIt was really chilly at night, not the normal kind of cold in the North.This one wrapped around you and lingered like a kiss.I stood just outside the old motel, rolling my shoulders slowly, trying to shake off the tension still coiled in my muscles.The fight at the bar hadn’t helped ease the tension away if anything it made it worse and animal was very close to looosing control right now.Whatever Bastian was up to, Nikal loosing control was definitely not on my list.Conrad leaned against the railing a few feet away, his arms crossed, watching the empty road.He wasn’t smoking tonight.But just silent snd brooding as always.“This place is off,” he said finally.I huffed quietly.“You noticed.”He glanced at me.“It’s not just the motel.”“No.”“It’s everything.”I nodded slightly, the cold, the air, the environment.Everything just felt strange and the way they reacted at the bar when they found out we were wolves.Very strange “I haven’t seen so many different creatur
Mila’s POVFor one second… everything was still.The whole place went dead silent.Uh oh.. Rina said Not helping I snapped at her Conrad stood in front of Hansel, his fist still clenched from the punch he had just delivered. The man he hit lay sprawled across a broken table, groaning, blood dripping from his mouth.No one spoke or moved.And then the man laughed.“Oh,” he muttered, wiping blood from his lip. “You shouldn’t have done that.”Something about the way he said it made my skin crawl.Hansel stepped back slightly.Conrad didn’t move.Knox, however looked at the man with disgust and snarled “Snake clan” Knox said The man laughed exposing his snake like tongue “And what the hell are you fairies?” The snake man asked “Stay out of our way and we stay out of yours” Knox said quietly “No can do, your companion punched me it’s only fair I return the favor”Knox just stared at the man and let out a low growl everyone went silent “Wolves” someone whispered “You brought wolves
