Back Where 131
I made my way towards the Lycan Kingdom throne chamber, my chest tightening. Princess Mearez had departed with only one word.

“Come see me before you leave.”

I knew she wanted to discuss my arm, and I swallowed hard at the thought of how Lycannar would feel if he ever found out.

I passed the scroll back to Jurrek, who walked beside me, and said,

“We’ll depart soon. Let me say my farewell to the King.”

He nodded, and as we moved into the quieter, heavily guarded area, I slowed down..

Ahead stood the massive, impenetrable gate, and off to the side the courtyard opened wide. There, I spotted a carriage bearing the Blackbridge crest, and another with the Hue Pack insignia.
