CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: A Single Ally Kaira’s POVThe suffocating weight of my mother’s words still lingered in the air, but the tears had completely dried. My heart felt like a frozen lake—solid, cold, and numb. I couldn't stay in that room a second longer.

He was a coward. A king of dirt.My vision blurred with hot, angry tears as I sprinted blindly through the dense undergrowth, bypassing the familiar paths of the Golden Pack.
