*Mila*
All through the night, I stuck to the shadows and stayed close to buildings as much as I could. Every now and then, I glanced back to see if Soren had sent anyone to follow me. So far, I was alone.
When I got to the edge of the village, I headed in the direction of Miltern pack territory.
In my dreams, Helen had given me a road map. At least, that's what I thought it was. She'd shown me the way over and over again, but I'd never understood. Now that I could remember them more clearly.
She'd shown me that I needed to follow the desert north star until the white sands became paved roads and the sun began to rise.
It was cryptic, but I felt like if I just went after the north star, the rest would make sense, eventually.
When the sun rose, though, it didn't show me white sand
