"Woof."
Both of them froze.
Selene's eyes shot wide in alarm.
In a flash, she scrambled out of the sleeping bag and dove back into hers.
Zzzzzip!The closing of the zipper echoed like a gunshot in the silent igloo.
Selene hid inside her sleeping bag, her face burning.Hati, you stupid wolf! she screamed internally.We were so close! I even felt… that… thing!
Meanwhile, Alex stood up stiffly, his jaw tight.He glanced at Hati with narrowed eyes, silently fuming.Why did you bark?! You did that on purpose, didn't you?!
Grumbling under his breath, he took a deep breath, then quietly stored the sleeping bags back into his spatial ring.
Moments later, Selene finally emerged, her cheeks flushed with a faint red hue—but her expression was perfectly composed, as if nothing had happened.She wore black jeans and a long, warm blue coat that reached down to her knees.Her silver hair fluttered slightly as she adjusted her collar.
Their eyes met briefly—then quickly darted away.
