Silver moonlight filtered through the oppressive canopy as Valeraine Thorne tracked her charge through the midnight woods. Her amber eyes sliced through the gloom, her breathing rhythmic and controlled despite the exertion of the chase.

The forest was a place of teeth and traps, and Valeraine would not let a single scratch befall her princess.
