LILA’S POV
The forest seemed to hold its breath.
Every wolf in the clearing froze.
Even the wind stopped moving through the trees.
The enormous creature that stepped out of the darkness made the ancient Alpha look small.
That alone was terrifying.
But what truly made my blood run cold were its eyes.
Pure black.
No glow.
No color.
Just endless darkness staring straight at me.
The ground trembled with each slow step it took into the clearing.
Leaves shook violently as branches cracked above us.
And for the first time since this nightmare began…
The ancient Alpha backed away.
Callum’s voice came out as a whisper.
“What the hell is that?”
Davian shook his head slowly, his sharp gaze locked on the creature.
“I don’t know,” he admitted.
“But it’s not something we can fight.”
