章 14: Chapter 14

Betrayed by Blood~

The world swayed around me, the faint scent of blood and earth filled my nose. I tried to open my eyes, but they were too heavy. My body ached, the pain sharp, but I couldn't move. Voices swirled in the distance—growls and muffled shouts blending together—but none of it made sense.

I felt the ground beneath me shift, and a sensation as though I was being lifted. I drifted in and out of awareness, catching glimpses of light and shadows until I could no longer.

When I finally woke up, the air was different—cleaner, cooler. The faint hum of voices had faded, replaced by silence. My body ached, every nerve was screaming, but there was no growling, no snarling.
