Iris and Alita had been racing their horses fast to the border just before sunrise, Litzy hadn't been back since last night, and that made Iris feel uneasy. Morgan and Michelle ran ahead with their wolf forms in front of them.
Litzy wasn't usually like this, she was usually on time to get back to her. Iris thought of two possibilities. The first might be that Litzy was with Thomas right now, and the second, that by now Litzy had been captured or injured somewhere by the border soldiers.
Iris closed her eyes, she didn't expect the second possibility to happen.
Alita, beside her, was silent and kept her mouth shut tightly, her face depicting a feeling of extreme anxiety. They had been running for almost three hours, Morgan gave no sign or anything about Thomas's whereabouts. Iris's heart beat faster, and she felt a bad feeling growing in her heart.
