Violet
Bei?
No, no, no.
This made no sense?
How had she known and how had she found me so quickly?
I spun around, my heart slamming against my ribs with enough force that I could feel it in my throat. My eyes scanned the tree line, searching for movement, when Bei burst through the foliage in her wolf form.
A large satchel bag was hanging from her side and her eyes were fixed directly on me with an intensity that made my stomach drop.
She stopped a few steps away from me and shifted, breathing heavily.
I stared at her, my mind racing, my heart still pounding. A dozen explanations and excuses tumbled through my head, but none of them made it to my lips.
"Violet," Bei said finally.
She sounded angry and hurt at the same time.
"Bei! What are you doing here?! You—"
"The maps." She cut me off, her tone clipped. "I suspected you were up to something when you were asking all those questions about the routes. It was just a hunch but turns out, I was right. What are you doing?"
