After the al, the journey continued, and I remained in the carriage.
They had utterly eaten it all up and seed to like it—more than six of them she had seen licking their fingers.
So of them had even argued over the food and its share.
Xaden had not eaten it.
When she turned to the carriage window, she saw Erik riding his horse beside her.
He had saved her life.
If not for him, what would Xaden have done to her again?
This ti worse, in front of his n.
Her body shivered, and she pushed the thought away.
She took so of her dicine and then rested for a bit.
"Halt," Xaden said.
She froze all the horses, and the carriage itself stopped.
There was silence.
The silence continued for a few minutes, and then I heard footsteps and soone coming down from a horse.
There was a slicing sound as if sothing had been caught, and then sothing fell with a loud thud.
"It's a trap." Xaden's voice said. "Rogue packs."
Then, as if on cue, there was a large howling from multiple wolves.
Wolves that I instantly knew didn't belong in Xaden's pack.
Then shouting followed.
I looked out of my window and saw wolves headed right our way.
Imdiately, they clashed with us, and I saw blood spill.
The n started fighting.
Xaden was giving orders so loudly that I could hear.
Then Xaden's face ca over the window in the carriage, and I jumped back.
"Stay inside!" He warned. "Don't co out."
I nodded hastily, and he moved away.
I quickly moved back away from the window and shook in fear.
It was an open ambush in broad daylight.
Xaden had only coke because, just as he had said, what use was I to him alive?
I remained inside, trembling in fear, as I heard the screams of the n slashing. I could listen to body parts being pulled out of bodies.
I hugged myself and kept quiet through the actual noise.
Then, the door to my carriage was quietly opened.
A stranger with crooked teeth and a terrifying face ca in.
I gasped and was about to scream, but he pointed a dagger at .
"If you make a single noise, I'll slit your throat." He warned .
