The unnaturally still forest added to my unease as I walked towards the northern border where Mera saw the rogues. I kept my steps silent as I moved in the dark, guided by my Lycan senses and the moonlight that barely pierced through the thick canopy of trees above me.
Mera’s news about the Shadowblood Order was quite disturbing, but it wasn’t the cause of the prickling heat that had curled in my chest, gnawing at me since yesterday. They were not only rogues, but Lycan rogues under a very dangerous rebel.
My father had told me stories about the many sacrifices it took to bring the rebel leader down. And now, it seemed he was back—and sniffing around Annalise. They hadn’t attacked yet, so that could only mean they were trying to intimidate Annalise—and someone was helping them.
