The Rescue Mission
Arin's POV
My teeth rattled as I slammed into the stone wall.
"Arin!" Just as a Shadow Wolf's claws scraped the area where my head had been, Kael grabbed my arm and dragged me back into the darkness.
Everything was going wrong in the fortress of Thanatos. With his blue eyes gleaming in the shadows, Rowan murmured, "This was supposed to be a stealth mission."
Wiping blood from my split lip, I hissed back, "Tell that to the fifty Shadow Wolves chasing us."
After twenty minutes of skulking through the fortress in search of Jaxon, someone set off an alarm. Every shadow creature in the area was now pursuing us.
"We need to keep moving," Kael said. "Somewhere in the lower levels is where Jaxon is."
Despite the pain throughout my body, I nodded. Although it was overwhelming, the triple bond I had developed with Kael and Rowan was strengthening me. It was difficult for me to think clearly because I could feel both of their emotions blending with mine.
