Third Person's POV
The soldiers were werewolves from the Western Tribes.
Ulrik had this gut feeling that the Western Tribes' wolves were out to get Velda. It probably had something to do with the shady treaty-signing at Bloodscar Border.
He said he believed it, but deep down, he still had doubts.
"Velda, come back!" Ulrik shouted, trying to chase after her.
But he was stuck in the heat of battle, hacking and slashing, with no chance to even glance at Velda again.
Velda heard Ulrik's call but kept pushing forward.
She trusted her instincts.
If these wolves were running, there had to be a reason. Maybe they were noble werewolves from the Western Tribes out for some rite of passage.
If she caught them, she could use the same tactic that had forced Solanke to sign the treaty before.
