The Alpha’s Command

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.
