Chapter 366: Coordination

Nova’s POV

The hum of the car engine vibrated through my chest, a soothing constant as the trees blurred past the windows. It had been far too long since our last visit to the Silvermoon Packhouse, but life at Shadowfang had left no room for reunions. Rogue attacks near our borders kept us tethered to home, juggling defenses and strategies.

Today was different. Today, we were finally going back.

I sighed, my gaze drifting to Leira. She was practically bouncing in her seat, her excitement bubbling over. Too young to understand the weight of what brought us here, she only saw this as a long-awaited visit to her best friend.

“Are we there yet, Mama?” she asked, her face pressed against the window, her voice brimming with hope.

“Almost,” I replied, my lips curving into a smile. Her energy was infectious, a bright spot in the constant tension.
