Freya nodded, stealing a glance at Gabriel who was behind the wheel. Little did she imagine that she would escape Fenrir's clutches with the help of his own son.
Lost in contemplation, Freya was abruptly jolted from her thoughts as Gabriel sharply turned the steering wheel.
"Watch out!" Gabriel exclaimed.
The car careened, crashing into the riverbank's protective barrier with a jarring impact.
The abruptness of the maneuver sent shockwaves through the vehicle, and the screeching of metal against metal filled the air as the car skidded to a halt. The river flowed calmly beside them, an unexpected backdrop to the chaotic turn of events.
In the aftermath of the collision, the air hung heavy with tension. Freya, gripping the edges of her seat, exchanged a wide-eyed glance with Gabriel.
Fortuitously, Gabriel's hand intercepted Freya, preventing her body from slamming into the car's dashboard.
