Chapter 29

Tala’s POV

Goldie smacked her head on a tree branch when she jumped off the Ferris wheel. I shifted as soon as I felt her lose consciousness. But as my body fell through the tree, I must have hit every branch the dammed tree had. Now I am lying here on the ground, unable to move.

I could hear shouting and sirens nearby. I would have missed the sound of a wolf howling if I had been any closer to the sirens. No doubt Mrs. Woodhouse must be getting everyone back to the academy. But I can’t budge.

“Over there. She must have landed over there somewhere.” A man’s voice shouts.

Come on Tala, move. I tell myself. A golden wolf will be easily visible if they shine a torch in my direction. Thankfully, I could shuffle a little. Finally, my body is healing.

“Girl, are you out there?” someone calls out, before being joined by another voice shouting. They are searching for Goldie.

Using my now working front paws, I drag myself along the ground slowly. I have to get us out of here.
