"Casaio had come!?" Raidan asked his wife as they finished supper, setting his glass down with mild surprise.
"Yes," Mabel replied, rising from her seat. "He returned to San Ravendale. There's still work left undone, especially now that Gabriel won't be there for a while."
They stepped out into the evening air, strolling side by side through the palace garden. The night was calm, the fragrance of blossoms trailing behind them.
"Kate's in San Ravendale as well," Raidan added, a faint smile curving his lips. "The council agreed that Gabriel's actions against Alex were justified. They raised no objections. As for Alex's parents... they've been stripped of their titles. They'll live the rest of their days serving in the pack as commoners."
Mabel then pointed, "Yet, you couldn't save Ethan. He was your friend."
