Chapter 40 Curiosity

• I was standing by the balcony, waiting for Azriel to go wherever he does because I knew he was back home. I waited a good thirty minutes when he appeared and I ducked, not wanting him to see me. I rushed outside quickly. concealing my scent, I went into the woods. I regretted not bringing a flashlight because my sight was pretty bad at night since I haven't shifted yet.
• I wasn't so good at this detective thing. I easily lost his scent and I was going deeper into the forest and these damn mosquitoes wouldn't leave me alone. I squealed when a bug fell on my shoes and then, I heard it. The rustling of leaves, the low sounds emitting from the dark. My heart was racing in my chest and I decided to go back but I didn't know which way to go. A loud growl tore through the forest.
• I screamed, running. I didn't get far though when I hit a tree and was sent flying to the ground with a thud. Fuck. A tall shadow appeared in front of me and I backed out, whimpering. I tried to get up to run but I fell again.
