Icy sea spray pelted her skin like tiny needles as the ship pitched and rolled on the storm-tossed waves. She squinted against the stinging salt, peering out into the gloomy darkness. Somewhere out there, through the inky black night and driving rain, lay the island and the answers she sought.
Amelia tightened her grip, resolve steeling her nerves. She had not come this far by giving up at the first sign of hardship. This was merely another test, and she would pass it, just as she had all the others.Turning from the railing, she made her way carefully across the slippery deck. The ship lurched beneath her feet, but she adjusted her stance, moving with the roll of the waves. Her piercing blue eyes scanned the shadows until they landed on a hunched form near the mast. One of the werewolf pack members. She approached slowly, sensing his tension.

Amelia stood her ground on the ship's deck. Her piercing blue eyes flashed with anger as she stared defiantly at the tall, imposing figure before her. Why did they always have to fight like this."I don't take orders from you," she spat, hands balled into fists. Gabriel's green eyes narrowed, his jaw clenching. "You're under my protection on this ship. I'm responsible for your safety.""Oh please," Amelia scoffed. "I can take care of myself. I don't need you hovering over me like some overbearing father."Gabriel crossed his arms over his broad chest. "We had an agreement. Perhaps if you didn't act like a child, I wouldn't have to." Amelia stepped closer, craning her neck to glare up at him. "I agreed to nothing. I'm a princess, not some damsel for you to boss around.""You know nothing of the dangers on the open sea," Gabriel growled. "As captain of this vessel, you will respect my authority.""Respect is earned, not

The mist swirled around Amelia as the ship cut through the fog-shrouded waters. She gripped the railing, squinting to make out the island through the haze. Jagged rocks jutted up like teeth ready to tear the hull to shreds. Her heart pounded. After so many leagues, they'd finally reached their destination.

Despite the hardships they had endured, their trust in each other – and in Gabriel – had only grown stronger."Tomorrow," Gabriel announced, his green eyes piercing the darkness as he addressed the weary crew.

The fog clung to the Forbidden Isle like a shroud, its tendrils weaving through the gnarled trees and obscuring the jagged rocks that jutted from the ground like the teeth of some slumbering beast.

"The Isle doesn't welcome intruders."Amelia peered into the mist, her chestnut hair damp against her brow. "We need to move.

Arrows soared through the salt-laden air, finding their marks and eliciting pained roars from the attacking beasts. "Keep them grounded!" Gabriel roared, his form blurring into that of a massive wolf, teeth bared in defiance. His pack echoed his ferocity, lunging with supernatural agility to tear at the serpents' scales.
