Chapter 39

• Aria's POV
• We arrived at a spot in the forest. I slid from Denderick's back and looked around.
• The campsite was simple, nestled within a small clearing surrounded by towering trees. The ground was mostly dirt with patches of grass, and a few large rocks were scattered around, making for makeshift seating. In the center, Alpha Denderick had set up a small fire pit with stones arranged in a circle to contain the flames. However, the flames in the pit had been killed, leaving only charred wood.
