CHAPTER 56

  Aria's POV

  Unknown to me, there was a hidden door, right where I had placed my ear to listen. So as I moved to leave, I mistakenly pressed the button that opens the hidden door, and because part of my body was still leaning on the door, immediately the door opened, I fell through it, and into the hidden room.

  A loud growl resounded through the room, and I froze in fear, too scared to even move to see what it was. The sound of large footsteps coming closer to me, caused me to finally raise my head to see what was coming towards me.

  I gasped in horror as I stared at the largest wolf I had ever seen in my life. Its fur was as black as midnight, and it looked as if shadows and smoke were wrapped around its body.

  It took a step closer, growling menacingly at me. I trembled, unable to move or speak. My mind screamed at me to run, but my body betrayed me, paralyzed by fear.

  This is it, I thought to myself. This is how I die.
