Chapter 9
It was harder running away from the royal forces than Evie had thought.
Partially because they were sprinting uphill, over rugged terrain, having recently spent every drop of strength and adrenaline they had battling a swarm of painted lunatics. Partially because they were actually headed in the same direction as said lunatics, and every so often they actually caught a glimpse of one of them through the trees. But mostly because of the wolves.
Belarian wolves were famed throughout the realm. They could track their prey for miles, pick the slightest scent off the breeze. And itâs not like she and her friends werenât leaving a trail.
She glanced to the left where Ellanden was running beside her, completely unaware that the burns across his chest were flinging little drops of blood. She glanced to the right where Asher was deliberately not looking, sprinting with tunnel-vision focus as they crashed through the leaves.
Weâre making it too easy. Her heart quickened and she resisted the urge to glance behind her, lest the wolves were already there. As soon as they realize weâre missing, the game will be up.
However impossible, they quickened the paceâavoiding the grass as much as possible and sticking to the rocks. It was a mixed bag. Harder to track a scent over boulders, but easier to see the blood. And at this point, Ellanden was hardly the only one bleeding.
âShit,â Evie cursed quietly, pressing her palm against a laceration at the base of her collarbone. Considering it was their first actual fight, the friends had done extraordinarily well. But the men they were fighting had skills, too, and each kill hadnât come without consequence.
Asher immediately stopped in his tracks, pulling the others to a halt with him. âAre you hurt?â
Obvious question, he was staring at the blood. And there wasnât a moment to lose.
âWho cares?â Ellanden glanced quickly at the princess, gauging the seriousness of the wound before lifting his eyes back to the mountain. âThereâs no timeâwe have to go.â
âThis isnât going to work,â Asher said quietly. His eyes were anxious but his voice never lost that eternal calm. âIf we vanish during the retreat, our guards will assume we were kidnapped. And if we keep running in the same direction, it will only shorten the time until weâre found.â
Ellanden and Evie shared a quick look, turning back with increasing impatience.
âOkay, so what should we do?â the princess asked quickly.
The vampire thought a moment, then lowered his eyes from the path theyâd been travelling on to one that dipped beyond the other side of the peak. It was dangerous. It would take a lot of energy. But it followed the riverâwhich was possibly the only way to mask their trail.
âYou guys up for a little swim?â
Ellanden followed his gaze, shaking his head.
âThe currentâs moving too fast and it will take us out right over the falls. Thereâs a reason the others are avoiding the riverâwe should avoid it, too.â
âThe others are avoiding it because they have the option,â Asher said simply.
