*~Cayden's POV~*
Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!
The ground was splitting beneath us, the cracks widening like hungry jaws. I clung to the edge, my palms raw, trying to haul myself up. Cyrius had already leapt across to Caspian calling for me, but the gap only stretched further.
I tried jumping over the gap but Ragnar, my wolf pulled me back then growled inside my head—sharp and furious. Don't kill yourself, you fool!
Shut up! I snapped back, my heart hammering. "Oh my God—what's happening now?"
And then… birds.
They came out of nowhere. Strange, black-feathered things I'd never seen before, swarming like a living storm. "Crows?" Cyrius shouted, ducking as wings slashed past his face.
