We finally arrived at the Moonbridge pack, and the moment the heavy stone borders came into view, I felt my heart rate spike dangerously.
My pulse hammered against my ribs like a trapped beast, and for a second, I had no idea why it was reacting so violently.
Was it because I was finally on the precipice of getting my long-awaited revenge on the quadruplets?
Or was it something else entirely?
I took a deep, steadying breath to settle my frantic nerves and dismounted from my horse, my boots thudding softly against the dirt as we crossed deeper into the territory.
The towering, familiar stone walls greeted me once again, and a sharp, sudden ache flared right in the middle of my chest. Nostalgia and bitterness twisted inside me. The only memory I genuinely cherished in this cursed pack was the time Maria had kept me company, bringing a warmth to my life that had caused this same heart to race so uncontrollably back then.
