Chapter 41: Unravel

Heath's pov.

Did I just confess? She hugged me??? My mind just completely shut down after what happened but not going to lie though, there's a hint of relief that I finally got what I was feeling off of my chest...I love this human but...how will things continue from here...?

As Alexandrea embraced me tightly, I perked up hearing distant footsteps. Multiple footsteps heading our way.

"Alex. Don't make a sound..." I whispered to her as I wrapped my arms protectively around her.

"So this is where you run off to during your 'hunts'..." A familiar voice cooed out in the shadows. Father...?

We were found out...My father stepped out of the tree line along with my brother who was held by two other hounds. I didn't know what to do but I just needed to make sure Alex makes it out of here safely...

"Maybe we could just talk this out..." My brother said before he was cut off by a furious growl from my father.
