Chapter 120 Crossroads Of Fate

• Lena’s POV
• The quiet of the forest feels heavier than normal. As I trail Marcus and Daniel down the little path, my footsteps match. Every shadow stretches out like a warning, and every sound seems enhanced. Deeper we go, the more I feel as though we are into the future—into something that will all transform us.
• Marcus is moving ahead of me, and I keep my eyes on his rear. His stride now shows a fresh resolution, a calm will. He hides it effectively, even though I know he is as anxious. Observing him gives me much comfort. With every step we go together, I can sense our bond growing; he has been a constant, a steady force.
