ALPHA'S REGRET, QUEEN'S REVENGE

His eyelids twitched open. His voice was rough. "Turtela you shouldn’t be here."
My eyes welled up with tears. "You shouldn’t either. What’s going on?"
He coughed, grimacing. That’s when I saw the bruises, the scorched skin, the remnants of dark magic seeping from his garments like a shadow refusing to release.
"Audacus " he croaked. "Hes arrived. More powerful, than before."
Hearing that name cut through the silence sent a chill down my back. I recalled Hailey, Ryan, Isaiah. All battling the surging darkness. And now Logan, clinging to survival.
