Chapter 76 Shattered Truths

• Ava’s POV
• The dawn had barely dawned, sending a pale glow over the woodland that encircled the pack’s encampment. The air was brisk, biting against my skin, yet I scarcely felt it. I strode back and forth outside the improvised tent, my head a swirl of contradictory thoughts. Trust had always been a tenuous thing, but now, with every step I took, it felt more like shattered glass beneath my feet.
• Inside, Eli and Seraph were talking in quiet tones, their voices too low for me to grasp the specifics, but the tension seeped through the thin canvas. They had been at it all night, and while they tried to shelter me from their words, I could sense it was about the traitor among us. About Blackthorn’s widening reach. And about the threat pressing in from every side.
