Tyler could feel the child's life slipping away with every passing minute.He hurried through the forest with his friend's family, constantly looking over his shoulder to make sure they were keeping up. They needed to reach his pack immediately."Please, sweetheart, stay with me," the child's mother whispered, pressing him against her chest. Tyler glanced at the boy and clenched his jaw.He didn't know whether they were close to the pack's borders. He had been away for some time, and although he remembered the general direction, navigating through the forest in the middle of the night was proving more difficult than he had anticipated.His friend's expression was equally troubled."How much farther?" the man asked."I don't know," Tyler admitted. "But we can't stop."They continued walking, pushing through the thick vegetation as branches scratched against their clothes. The forest seemed endless, and Tyler was beginning to fear that they would run out of time before finding help.
