The Mark of the Hunt
Lyra's POV
"They are already here."
My voice faded into silence and Darius looked at me and then at the mark, then back at me again.
"We need Kael," he said and I nodded and my chest still felt tight.
The blood on the wall did not move again but I could feel it, it was not just a mark, it felt like eyes, watching and waiting.
And then Footsteps rushed toward us and Kael appeared with guards behind him.
"What happened?" he asked and his eyes landed on me first and then moved past me to the wall and then he stopped and his whole body went still.
"What is that?" he asked but there no one answers at once and Darius stepped forward.
"They got inside," he said and Kael's jaw tightened.
"That is not what I asked."
He then pointed at the mark
