Kapitel 49: Chapter 49

Betrayed by Blood~

Cain moved deeper into the woods, hearing the unmistakable sound of movement from behind—a rustle of leaves, the snap of twigs. His body went rigid, his senses sharpening once again. He wasn't alone.

"Show yourself," Cain growled into the air, his body stiffened as the smell of Bloodroot filled the air.

Cain's eyes narrowed as the sickeningly rotten scent of Bloodroot filled the air, his muscles tensed up, veins straining against his skin. It was the unmistakable smell of death, a toxin that burned the skin and poisoned the blood. Just one contact with an open injury and it meant instant death. It was mostly used on pack alphas, alphas like Cain himself.

His wolf growled inside him, thrashing internally to be let loose and show his wrath.

"Show yourself," Cain said again, his voice low and dangerous, his eyes flickering around, highly alert.
