Chapter 82 : I’m Coming for You

*Xander*

The girl’s name was Sasha, and she hadn’t let go of my hand for the last eight days.

Blonde, blue-eyed, and innocent, she had no idea what was going on or the level of c*****e we’d left behind when I’d carried her out of the forest. Even now, she seemed oblivious, perfectly content in the arms of strangers as she sat in my lap on the ferry as we neared the port of Avondale.

It was the closest we could get to Breles. We’d left the coast of Finadli from a small port town called Porthaven, and had been on the ferry for several days now. The journey out of Cedar Hollow had been a nightmare on every level.

I’d come out of the woods within minutes of dropping from what felt like the sky onto the forest floor. I had a few broken ribs, that was for sure, and I had been in total shock, handing Sasha off to a stunned Adrian and Abigail before turning on my heel and walking back into the forest.

I spent a full day looking for Lena. It would have been more had Adrian not physically removed me from the area and thrown me on a bus, holding me down until we were far enough away from Cedar Hollow that I couldn’t sprint back into the smoldering remains of the territory.

It was gone, all of it–the village, the Alpha’s castle… everything. I’d spent the day walking through the wreckage, screaming Lena’s name into the trees as I stepped over the bodies of villagers and the hybrid beasts who had hunted and killed them. Survivors milled about, taking stock with pale faces lined with shock and confusion.

I had no idea what had happened, not until the initial fury and panic over what I thought I saw happen to Lena subsided, leaving me in a state of numbness.

I was sure I’d seen her lifted into the sky by a beast with bat-like wings. It happened in the blink of an eye, and then she was gone.

I was beginning to think I’d imagined it–all of it–her garden realm, Henry, the voice that was my only companion.

But then Adrian started talking.

I felt like I’d spent only a day or two in the realm of Lena’s creation, but it had been weeks. Weeks had gone by in my absence, and as we arrived in Porthaven, I learned that all available warriors from all three continents were gathering off the coast of Breles.

The same beasts that had attacked in Cedar Hollow were attacking the smaller pack villages between Crimson Creek and Breles, making their way toward the capital city during the night and disappearing during the day.

As the days passed in an anxious blur aboard the ferry, which had stopped along the coast of northwest Findali before making a three-day long jump across the open ocean to the Isles of Denali’s capital of Avondale, I had time to wrap my mind around the situation.

War. Blood. Death.

I’d warned Ethan of this. It was happening.

And I couldn’t do anything to stop it.

“We need to talk about what’s going to happen when we, uh, you know,” Adrian said under his breath as he walked up to where I was sitting, Sasha sprawled on my lap flipping the pages of a children’s book I’d read to her at least a dozen times this morning already.

I made no move to get up, and Adrian sighed in resignation as he crossed his arms over his chest.
