So, Team B is followed by "darkness". The problematic part is where the werewolf says he doesn't even know what they are running from, which means to the reader the writer doesn't know, so this whole "chase" is an empty threat, shows lack of pre-planning, and in general weak writing, which doesn't encourage you to keep reading.
To create some artificail tension RJ writes some ravens tear appart some fox. This is weak, artificial, disgusting, and does not advance the plot. And even kills the plot, as from Hitchcock's Birds we lernt you have no chance if horde-animals can be weaponised. Especialy flying animals.

They run to some safespace. Some magicly protected area. Ah, it is an anti-magic field, so the ravens can't be a threat, as to be a threat they have to be magicly mind-controlled. These places called shedding, living space of ogres - of curse they are all dead now or something.

More lore on King Arthur is coming, we learn he was an asshole. Did great things, but still an asshole.
