Chapter 67 - Shadow in the wood

Alana's POV

The morning sun glimmers through the towering forest trees as I ride beside Eve and Amaya, the wind tugging at my hair like a teasing child. It feels good to laugh again, even if only for a moment—our laughter echoing like ghosts through the woods. The horses trot side by side, kicking up soft tufts of moss and fallen leaves, the forest alive with the scent of pine and the distant sound of birdsong. I glance at Amaya, her wild grin matching the way she races ahead, her hair flying behind her like a banner of rebellion. She dares me to keep up, and for a heartbeat, I forget the weight of everything. Eve, quieter as always, stays close, her hands gentle on the reins, her hazel eyes scanning the woods with cautious curiosity.

"Do you think Adrian will be mad if we slipped out?" I ask them, raising an eyebrow.

Amaya throws her head back and laughs. "Let him be mad. If he wants a Luna who sits pretty all day, he picked the wrong girl."
