[Kieran POV]
"Alpha..." I heard my beta call as we rode on further, taking through the western region.
"The sun is setting, Alpha..." he said, and I could also tell that much. We had setted out in the morning hours, but the Nightshade pack was quite far.
I turned my gaze back, my eyes meeting Elara's riding also.
A smile curved on my lips as she also smiled when she caught my eyes.
But still, I could tell she must still be worried—those smiles that faded after her eyes left mine.
I wanted to help her through it all, yet the only thing I could give her right now was time to recover from everything, even if it wouldn't have been easy.
After riding for a bit more, I ordered we settled for a camp nearby immediately we left the barren soil, arriving in the forest area.
My soldiers dismounted from their horses as they setted the camp.
As dinner was prepared, I watched some of them settling, eating quietly.
