Chapter Sixteen – The Alpha's Command
Zara's POV
The hallways of the Shadow Fang Pack were really silent as I walked through them.
It was already night, and the torches along the stone walls flickered softly, making long, twisting shadows across my path. As if I am being watched.
I hadn't seen Hunter all day. It's like he vanished after the thing that happened between us.
Not at breakfast.
Not in the training grounds.
Not anywhere.
And I wasn't sure why that bothered me.
Maybebthe bond is trying to take jomd somehow.
I had been so sure he would come back to me after what happened.
To scold me.
To punish me.
To say something.
But he never did.
Instead, I was met with something else.
Loneliness.
Fear.
Everywhere I went, I felt it.
The maids bowed quickly when I passed, their eyes flickering toward me before looking away just as fast.
