Mated (Mortal, Book Two)
I have to keep moving.
I take off running again, my feet pounding against the pavement as I race towards the wooded area where we parked our boat. The Silver Hunters are hot on my heels, their shouts and curses ringing in my ears. I can see the trees up ahead, and I know that if I can just make it to the boat, we might have a chance. Maybe that's where Alec is waiting for me.
But then something hits the back of my head, and I stumble forward and crash into the snowy ground. Stars spin in front of my vision, and I try to get to my feet, but I can't think straight.
