Just then, the doors to the court swung open and a warrior stepped in, quickly lowering himself to one knee. “My Alpha,” he said urgently. “We have reports of a suspected magic user around the east border. The user was able to bring down the border gates but we are unable to identify him.” “Time to find out if you are truly worth keeping alive,” Cassian said, his gaze locking on mine. “We leave now.”

“Look, I just want to return home and the nearest border has been blocked already.” The man hesitated for a while before handing my ID back to me. “I trust you know how to take care of yourself. Drive safely ma'am.” *** No man's land, the forest that stretched between this side of Midnight Pack and Silvercrest Pack. It was called no man's land because it belonged to none of the packs, it was just a free-for-all all forest in between the two packs, free for rogues as well. The stories I had heard concerning folks who ventured into no man's land at night were alarming. Today however, I was ready to bust that myth. I was ready to show everyone else that it was just a bedtime story to scare kids

“That’s what best friends are for. Now promise me you won’t ghost me again. I don’t care how busy you are, just send me a text. Even just an emoji. Let me know you’re alive and functioning.” “I promise.” After they hung up, Miriam felt lighter than she had in weeks. Emily was coming back.
