My pack was littered about the room but I had denied entrance to Val or any of the council and their packs. Diego seemed aware of the tension bu...
Chapter Fourteen Dark thoughts plagued me the next day. I had not said a word after Val's confession, just used magic to bring my entourage with me to the bungalow.

Livinia grimaced as she slung her bow over her back and braced one hand against the boulder and the other on the shaft of her arrow.
