Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2030

Estelle felt her heart race as she caught sight of the pack of hounds closing in beneath the tree. Her body tensed, and a fine layer of sweat coated her hands gripping the rifle, the clammy sensation causing an involuntary shiver.

"Don't be scared! I'm right here with you! Baby, I love you!"

Jonathan's words echoed in Estelle's ears, her complexion pale against the dappled tree shadows and dim light. She couldn't see his gaze through the gloom, but she felt it—his eyes were on her.

Taking a deep breath, Estelle gripped her rifle tighter, her steely gaze fixed on the approaching threat.

"Woof!"

The hounds' barking pierced the quiet forest, their calls ferocious at the foot of the tree.

"Bang! Bang!"

Gunfire followed as Jonathan swiftly took down two of the dogs. His shots were commands, and his men, following suit, aimed and fired at the pack.

The people below immediately provided cover, firing upwards at those perched in the tree.

Using the trunk as a shield, Estelle aimed and fired without a miss. Within moments, a dozen bodies lay lifeless below her.

Suddenly, the hounds scattered, lunging towards Estelle's tree with surprising agility.

Jonathan's eyes narrowed with a fierce intensity. These hounds were specially trained to climb trees! And they climbed swiftly, covering half the tree's height in a few powerful leaps.
