Chapter 50

• The air surrounding the woods seemed different today. On other days, I come here for peaceful moments. It provides a calm and serene environment for me; the sound of the rustling leaves and damp soil under my feet all remind me of my memories here.

It was the Alpha, Jaxon. And for no reason, it was worse, worse than meeting an army of rogues.
