Chapter 27: Evidence

Zariah

It seems strange to be in charge of a detail. My father didn’t want to come with us. He said he had some other matters to take care of, but secretly, I think he wanted me to have this opportunity.

I also have no idea what Micah is doing, and I can’t imagine there’s anything back in the village that is more important than this, but he’s not with us either, and the further away from him I sprint, the more my heart aches.

It is an awful feeling, one I am not used to. One I hope stops soon because I don’t even want to acknowledge the truth of it, let alone continue to experience it.

But I am at the head of the detail. Behind me, Eli, Alex, Kimber, Oscar, and four other wolves are sprinting along, and we are doing a careful check of the area on the outer perimeter of our lands.
