Lyra's POV
Someone was following me.
I've had this bugging feeling for days, itching across my scalp and causing all the hairs on the back of my neck to stand in alert.
As I made a turn deeper into the alley, that person got even closer.
Who knows there might be more than one of them…if I'm surrounded what do I do next? Perhaps, Lunaris is no longer as well coming from me as it used to be in the past. Well, it was never welcoming but I made do.
I slowly increased my pace over time. I wondered if I could just tell Alpha Corvin that I needed to close earlier. He seemed pretty spooked by me ever since I woke up in that storage room when he expected me to be dead.
Even Beatrice was worried that I was still breathing, not in the insured kind of way at least, not towards me but for herself
