Lito took a deep breath, and the cold rushed into her nose, bitter and sharp. She took a step back, and her subordinates followed her.
Maybe they could still leave while they had the time. Surely she hadn't seen them. Yes, that's right. They would just leave right there and then...!!
Rinex Kareth looked up, her eyes like liquid darkness, her voice empty like the cold. "You guys."
Lito stiffened. Every inch of her body screamed at her to run, but she seemed stuck. All of them froze as if their limbs were now ice blocks.
As if by not moving, they could stop her from seeing them.
Her wolves circled around them, restless as if they were reflecting her inner mood.
She frowned slightly. "Are you guys part of those we are to kill?"
Alarm ran through Lito. So did anger. Someone somewhere had betrayed them. How else would Kareth be there? "We? We're just passing through, caught up in whatever this is!"
She said hurriedly.
