Chapter 137 Into The Unknown

• Lena’s POV
• As Nyla and I sprint from the riverbed, my heart thumps in my chest. Adrenaline floods me, erasing the boundaries of anxiety and will. Behind us, I can hear our attackers yelling; their footfalls are heavy on the woodland floor, each sound a sharp reminder that we are not yet secure.
• "Where do we go now?” Breathless as she keeps pace next to me, Nyla asks. Though I can sense a flutter of resolve in her wide-open terrified eyes. Together, we are in this.
