Chapter 45

Mia's POV

I couldn't help but feel uneasy as I paced around the small cabin. Leah had been gone for a while now, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. What if she had been caught by the black bird wolves? What if they had found out where we were hiding?

Blake, who was sitting on the couch and reading a book, suddenly looked up at me. "What's with all the pacing? You're making me dizzy."

I stopped and faced him. "I'm just worried about Leah. She's been gone for a while now and I'm afraid something might have happened to her."

Blake rolled his eyes. "Leah can handle herself. She'll be fine."

"But what if she's not? What if they caught her and found out where we are?" I exclaimed, my voice rising with panic.

Blake stood up and grabbed my shoulders, staring at me intently. "Mia, you need to stop worrying. It's not helping either of us. We have to think of a plan to protect ourselves and strike back at the black bird wolves."
