Chapter 169: Emergency Landing in the Enemy's Heart
Aria's POV
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Due to severe weather conditions ahead, we're being diverted to make an emergency landing at Iron Fjord Airport. We apologize for this inconvenience."
My stomach dropped at the announcement. Iron Fjord? The name alone sent chills racing down my spine.
"No, no, no," I whispered, gripping the armrests so tightly my knuckles turned white.
The elderly woman beside me patted my hand. "First time flying, dear? Don't worry, emergency landings are just precautionary."
If only that were my concern. The Iron Fjord Pack - the very pack my mother had warned me about countless times. The pack we'd fled from when I was little.
"We're in enemy territory," my wolf whimpered inside me.
I forced a smile at my seatmate. "Just nervous about delays," I lied.
