Bab 321: A Stop on the Way

"Everything is going to be okay," Selah muttered to herself as she and Jack walked through the forest toward the treehouse.

She was trying to calm herself down after her failure to find Sage. She had searched everywhere. It was unlikely he was still on pack land, but she still felt a nagging hope that he would be.

"Can we make a stop on the way?" she asked the male who was leading her.

She knew where the treehouse was, but he had been walking ahead, allowing her to stay in her own private little bubble of thoughts. Selah had been muttering and wringing her hands, eyes darting all over as she thought of scenarios and sketched plans in her mind for sneaking back into Zagan's world.

"Where?" Jack stopped and glanced at her suspiciously.

"There's just one more place I would like to look. Just in case…" she trailed off, becoming lost in her thoughts again. "He might be there," she whispered to herself and then took off at a sprint with Jack giving chase.
