207 Rogues

Talia's steps slowed down after an unknown measure of time when she noticed through the gaps in bushes and trees that someone was standing in the distance.

Talia thought it's one of the patrols, and if she avoids them, she might appear suspicious, so she continued moving straight, without altering her path.

A few steps later, Talia confirmed it was four men and she slowed down as she realized that something was off.

The warriors are usually patrolling in wolf form (Damon told her that), and even if they are in human form, they would be dressed in dark gray t-shirts while these guys wore green and brown-ish patterns that provided camouflage in the forest.

Talia bent slightly, hiding behind nearby bushes while focusing on four men who were talking in whispers and looking around nervously.

Her eyes widened when the breeze brought the words, "Avoided… Did you find… We don't have much time..."

Talia's heart thundered. Rogues.
