In normal circumstances, I would find that interesting and ask Tanyn about it.

However, at the moment, I was too terrified to…

Wait.

I yanked on Monique’s hand and stopped us both.

“Catla,” she stressed, “we don’t have time.”

“It’s melting,” I whispered.

“What?” she asked.

“The snow walls. They’re melting.”

And they were.

As we stood there, I watched the pack slowly receding, and the stone underneath being unveiled.

There was no dripping. No water. So it wasn’t melting.

The snow was just…vanishing.

I turned my attention to the floor.

It didn’t look like a sheet of ice.

It was stone.

“Ca—” she began but stopped herself as both of our heads whipped to look behind us.

I felt it too.

Someone…

Or something…

Was coming.

There was no sound.

But I could sense them.

And so could Monique.

Seriously, what the fuck?

She was human.

Again, I didn’t have time to ask.

Now I knew the threat was real.

It was then, I ran, dragging Monique with me.

I would have picked her up (even half-demon, I had the strength), but she needed to guide us to wherever the hells we were going.

With jerks on our connection as we ran, she did.
