Chapter 138: Help Me

Outrunning a wolf?

Esme knew that, under normal circumstances, she'd be outmatched. But tonight was different. Maybe it was the raw surge of adrenaline electrifying her senses, or maybe it was the grueling endurance training Revana had drilled into her.

Whatever the reason may be, she found herself outpacing a demon wolf, her feet pounding the ground as if survival itself was propelling her forward.

The wolf thundered after her, its snarl echoing through the narrow corridors, yet she resisted the urge to look back. She darted around a corner, pouring every ounce of strength into her legs.

Her breath was sharp and unsteady as she miraculously evaded the wolf's lethal lunges. Each time the demon wolf closed in, she slipped from its grasp by a fraction, dodging with instinctive precision.
