Chapter 16

• Nivaan’s POV
• I ran through the forest, driven by a familiar scent, something similar to burnt charcoal. I had come across this scent on three occasions including once at the site of the kidnapping. I had a feeling that this person either was responsible for the kidnappings or knew something about it.
• I didn’t want to lose the trail of the scent and so didn’t wait for reinforcements. My ears perked up as everything suddenly went quiet. The scent grew faint but lingered for a while.
