We reached the Darklands immediately and we stood at the edge of the Darklands.
The ground was dry, cracked, and dead, filled with no sound
Even the trees looked wrong. Like they had been burned from the inside. Behind me, my betas and guards stood in silence.
No one spoke, and no one dared move. They could feel it too.
"This is where she was sent," one of my betas said quietly.
I didn't answer.My eyes stayed fixed ahead.
Ariana. The thought of her name burned inside my chest. If she was here…
If she suffered here…My jaw tightened. We move," I said.
One of the guards behind me let out a small breath.
"Alpha… this place—" "Stay quiet," I said. My voice was calm and sharp. He fell silent immediately.
We walked deeper. "What do we have here…"
I stop
