Rod's POV
"Right there," my liege commander pointed at the open field as we stood on the walls of Crescent. The wall was our greatest defense and the only reason why Kylian hadn't marched in on us yet. "There was movement sighted by the ruins, and the foot team I sent to investigate returned empty."
I strained my eyes but still couldn't see a thing. The wind blew against my face; it should have carried the scent if there was truly someone out there.
"Are you sure about this?"
"On my life," he replied sharply, but there was no proof of life out there. Just the open field, with ruins and trees that stretched for miles.
"Send a squad of shifter warriors to investigate, full-shift," I commanded. "If there was something out there, they would sniff it out. And get the trainees to guide the supply shelter as well."
