Nova didn’t know how much distance she had put between herself and Kael, but she hoped it was far enough.

Her legs ached from nonstop running while exhaustion dragged at every step, yet she kept moving anyway.

Because trust got people killed.

She learned that lesson early into the outbreak.

People lied.

People stole.

Yeah.

Those definitely came with extra problems.

Still…

Kael confused her.

Most predators didn’t look a

    Nova’s face remained completely blank the entire trip back She sat stiffly on Kael’s massive wolf form with her arms crossed tightly Still mad.Very mad.Kael knew that posture.His wolf however seemed entirely too pleased carrying her around.“She’s staying.”Rylan walked beside them casually trying several times to start conversation.“So… this technically counts as your first horseback riding experience.”Silence.“Wolfback riding?”Nothing.“You know Kael’s gonna become unbearable about this later.”Nova ignored him completely.Rylan sighed dramatically. “Wow. Tough crowd.”Kael’s ears flicked slightly in amusement.Every now and again nova’s eyes drifted down toward her injured leg resting against dark fur It still hurt But Not constantly But enough to remind her it was there.At least it wasn’t bleeding anymore.Whatever the doctor injected her with back at the compound…It worked Or partially worked The infection spreading beneath her skin had definitely slowed.What exactly had

    The woods remained quiet around her Nova tightened her grip on the knife.Something felt wrong.Then suddenly—A massive black shape slammed into her from the side.Nova hit the ground hard with a startled curse as fur and claws flashed across her vision.Wolf.Big one.The creature snarled low while circling her immediately.Nova scrambled backward and raised the knife defensively.“Back off, mutt!”The black wolf prowled around her slowly, silver eyes locked onto her every movement.Nova’s pulse hammered.She didn’t know if this was one of Kael’s wolves or some feral stray but she sure as hell wasn’t letting herself get eaten after surviving Hollowfangs all night.The wolf lunged.Nova reacted instantly, rolling sideways as jaws snapped where her throat had been seconds earlier.“Oh hell no!”She slashed the knife outward.The blade clipped across dark fur causing the wolf to snarl sharply before circling her again.Nova quickly got to her feet despite exhaustion burning through her

    Nova thought about that for a moment.Trust.She learned a long time ago not to trust anyone.Not strangers.Not survivors.And definitely not wolves.The world had chewed apart every soft thing people used to believe in. Trust got people killed now.Kael pushed open the rusted subway door ahead of them before stepping inside an abandoned train car.Dust drifted through weak beams of light Old seats sat overturned while faded advertisements peeled from the walls Still…It was enclosed andDefensible.“This should do,” Kael muttered after checking the darker corners carefully. “We can stay here for the time being before heading back.”Nova immediately crossed her arms.“And what exactly makes you think I want to go back with you?”Kael slowly looked at her.Honestly looked at her.“Nova,” he said carefully, “you cannot be serious.”“Oh I’m serious.”“You almost died fifteen minutes ago.”“And?”“And?” Kael stared at her in disbelief. “You escaped my compound, ran through infected territo

    Nova sighed heavily and rubbed a hand over her face.“Suppose what you’re saying is true.” She looked back at him cautiously. “Why don’t I remember you? I mean…” Her voice softened slightly. “I would remember my supposed friend.”Kael exhaled slowly before glancing around the ruined streets.The infected screams from earlier had gone quiet, but that didn’t mean the city was safe.Far from it.“We need to move,” he said quietly. “I’ll explain what I know somewhere safer.”Nova eyed him suspiciously.“You swear this isn’t some elaborate kidnapping thing?”Kael stared at her blankly.“You literally escaped my fortress through an air vent.”“Fair point.”A faint smirk tugged briefly at the corner of Kael’s mouth before disappearing again.He nodded toward the street ahead. “There’s an old subway station nearby. The tunnels are defensible.”Nova groaned immediately.“Absolutely not. Last time I went underground I got chased by nightmare wolves and emotionally traumatized.”Then do you know

    veins crawled across thin arms and bare legs while patches of rotting skin stretched tight against bone. Matted hair hung around a face that probably used to belong to someone who laughed and played and had favorite songs before the world ended.Now her cloudy eyes locked onto Nova with starving hunger.Nova slowly backed away.Easy.Easy—Her boot suddenly crushed an old can beneath her foot.CRUNCH.The infected girl’s head snapped upward instantly.Then she screamed.The sound tore through the store“Oh, come on!” Nova cursed.The infected lunged.Nova bolted immediately.Shelves crashed behind her as the creature slammed through them chasing after her with horrifying speed black saliva dripped from its mouth.Nova sprinted down the aisle and vaulted over a fallen cart.The infected followed without slowing.“WHY ARE YOU SO FAST?!” Nova shouted She burst through the front entrance of the store and into the ruined streets outside.The infected came screaming after her.Nova darted
