DEREK:
We have no idea who the maiden is even if she claims to be Caleb's mate. But it doesn't stop us from following her because it seemed she indeed had a way to get us out of the pack.
I already told Rafael to be on alert because we never know what could happen. The fact that we couldn't detect the maiden's presence then meant that our senses were still weak and it would take a while for us to recover.
I wasn't familiar with the pathway we were going through despite my intense knowledge of the woods following Rafael's showcasing when I first arrived back from the alpha academy. It looked strange to see that there was a completely different route. Made it feel like I was a stranger here.
I did ask Rafael as well and he affirmed that he was aware of the path. Just that he has no idea
