Chapter 65:
INTO THE VEIL LANDS
Dawn arrived too soon.
The pack was still quiet, the sky painted in pale hues of gold and violet as we prepared for our journey. The Veil Lands weren’t just dangerous, they were forbidden. No one who had entered had ever returned the same.
And yet, we were going straight into them.
Ethan was tense as he secured his weapons, his jaw locked. Gabriel and Marissa checked supplies, ensuring we had enough to survive the journey. The girl who still refused to give us her name stood silently by the trees, watching me with that same unreadable expression.
I ignored her, focusing on the Heart of the Moon pulsing steadily in my chest. It knew We were going somewhere dangerous.
It just wasn’t stopping me.
