No Longer Participating in Alpha’s Game
Not until the moon was high, not until Liam had fallen fast asleep in my arms, did I finally stop in a hidden cave.
I settled my mother's belongings and Liam, then leaned wearily against the cave wall.
Ryker's image, his blood-soaked fight, his desperate cry to "live," replayed endlessly in my mind.
For the next few days, I struggled to survive with Liam in the deep mountains.
I taught him to identify herbs, set traps, and how to survive in the harsh wilderness. We heard no more sounds of Shadow-fang pursuit, nor any news of Ryker.
Willow Creek, our former home, was stained with blood. We couldn't go back.
