Chapter 23

Out of all the places in the forest, Serena likes the river the best. 

At first, she was hesitant to choose a hiding spot here, thinking someone might easily figure her out. 

That was until the omega remembered that the river stretched out for miles, and it was so deep into the forest, that Serena was quite surprised to find herself in solitary by the time she met the quiet waters.

She decides to rest. Walking and running has managed to drain her out, but nothing energizes her more than the sight of the river. 

She relaxes her muscles, exhaling deeply to release all the tension to rest against this large rock that’s probably thrice her size.

 So deep into it, she even dared to close her eyes, genuinely allowing himself to just bask in the river.

That was until she heard the sound of a twig snapping.

All of Serena’s senses become alert. She debates bolting away, but sure that that’s a dead giveaway to her hiding spot.
