Chapter 8

Merely a seconds ago, my confidence at escaping from the grasp of the Alpha remains unwavered despite the meeting I had with thim. He seemed sensible, but I know what danger lurks behind those eyes so I will not be swayed by her kindly gestures that I often see at Regent's council. But now, I have realized that my initial plan of fleeing from this village might be a sumptous feast I cannot afford.

Ettina have taken me half past the village town, walking through the mud then turns into stone-paved ground the moment we step in the center of the village. My eyes were met with either smoldering stares, or be filled with their enormous body that I assume was gained from their rigorous fighting surviving this forest. Nonetheless, it made me feel small and I am not fond of that irksome feeling.

These people are what my hometown people would call giants. With their tall and muscular figure, it does not take a second to guess they are formidable opponents even if they lay asleep around you.
