Damien
They ignore me and shift anyway, despite the warning in my glare. Dane keeps his eyes locked on me, burning with unspoken questions—but those can wait.
For now, all that matters is finding her.
They manage to keep pace with me for a few minutes, but I’m faster—my body moving fluidly through the dense trees, barely making a sound as I track his scent. The familiar hints of strawberries hit my nose. She’s still with him. He hasn’t hidden or discarded her like his usual victims. This is a game to him—one he’s destined to lose.
The trees thicken overhead, casting deep shadows despite the sun still hanging high in the sky. Here, among the darkness, he could be anywhere—watching, waiting, biding his time until the perfect moment to strike.
