Erica’s POV.The ground was chaos.I thought we were too late—the way the blood glistened across the clearing, the bodies strewn like broken dolls, the snarls and growls filling the air. For a second, I couldn’t breathe. My vision swam, the smell of iron clawing at my throat.But then I saw them.Reynold, Robert, and Ronald—they were breathing.Bruised, battered, bloodied, but standing. Their chests heaved with effort, sweat dripping down their temples, but their eyes were sharp and unbroken. Around them, wolves circled like guardians, as the remaining vampires that managed to escape the fight ran for their lives.They weren’t defeated completely—the air still reeked of their presence—but they were fleeing, melting back into the night, hissing in frustration as they disappeared.“We made it…” I whispered, my chest aching with relief.Daisy’s hand slipped from mine as we stumbled into the clearing. Flames flickered faintly on her fingertips still, but she didn’t need to use them now.
