As my guards arrived behind us, I let the relief wash over me. I closed my eyes and readied myself as I smelt them getting closer. But my eyes snapped open as I felt their scents stop, my eyes searching the forest before me and then they locked with a very familiar pair of eyes. Those gleaming red eyes belonged to the rogue who had been haunting me and I growled, showing him my teeth. We held like that for a moment, both of us unmoving, before he turned and began his retreat. Without hesitation, Hope took over and raced after him, now concentrated on the hunt. Judah yelled in our link for me to stop but Hope quickly blocked him out. His words were quickly repeated by my guards, but Hope shut them out too, as she turned all her concentration completely towards hunting the retreating rogue.
