TREE ROOT

NORAHeavy, wet breathing echoed directly behind my ears.Running blindly through the thick pine trees, the freezing snow tore at my bare feet. My lungs burned with every single desperate gasp. The dark forest was completely silent except for the terrifying sound of massive, heavy footsteps crushing the frozen ground right behind me.Keep moving, my brain screamed.Tripping over a hidden tree root, I crashed hard into the snow.

I sat in the passenger seat, my heart hammering violently against my ribs."ETA is two minutes," Halil barked into the dashboard comms. "Tell the backup units to flank the eastern ridge. Nobody moves until we hit the front line.""Understood, Alpha," Gideon replied before the line clicked shut.Adrenaline flooded my veins like liquid fire. My inner wolf paced frantically, clawing at my chest, completely desperate to get out. Staring out the windshield, the thick gray fog swallowed the headlights. We were driving entirely blind.Slamming the brakes, the heavy armored SUV skidded sideways into the gravel parking lot of the western checkpoint.Kicking my door open, I leaped out into the freezing cold.Dozens of foot soldiers were already there. They stood in human form, holding heavy assault
