Chapter 94. The Chase

Erica’s POV

Envy takes off running as fast as she can through the forest. She weaves in and out of trees, occasionally lifting her nose to the air looking for the scent of our mate. Every now and then we catch the faint scent of hot chocolate but we are running too fast to follow the trail properly.

The sound of heavy paws hitting the ground behind us, only serves to make us run faster. Envy doesn’t dare turn around to see who is chasing us. Taking a hard right, trying to lose whoever is chasing us, Envy slides on the leaves of the forest floor and falls on her side. She skids painfully across the ground and lets out a loud whimper.

Suddenly, someone pounces on top of us, pinning us to the ground. Envy keeps her eyes closed, waiting for the impending attack, when the smell of hot chocolate fills our senses.

Opening her eyes one at a time, Azul finally comes into focus, smiling goofily down at us with his tongue hanging out of the side of his mouth.
