章節 209: The Cave

AARYN

As soon as they'd walked into the clearing he'd had a bad feeling. He'd asked himself if it was possible, but everything looked wrong and it seemed so unlikely. He'd been uneasy though. He should have listened to his instincts.

He couldn't believe he hadn't recognized it. He should have known! They were in the right region. But the last time he'd been out here was the year before he was Alpha, when he was still considering taking the training. It had been winter and the snowbanks changed the shape of the land. Plus, they'd approached from the trail—and stupid Gar had been badgering him about becoming Alpha, he'd been so wrapped up in everything he was thinking, he really hadn't paid enough attention.
