Casaio and Dominick arrived at the border, where rows of wolves from their side stood in disciplined formation. The rustling wind the only sound between the two confronting forces.
Across the invisible divide, Luke appeared, flanked by his own pack of wolves, their stances equally firm.
Luke stepped forward. "As per our deal, I have brought Estelle, Casaio Sinclair. However, before you see her, I want clarity on your negotiation terms."
He narrowed his gaze. "If you've come expecting me to surrender, then you're gravely mistaken. Since you've uncovered pieces of my past, you should already know, I've no interest in forgiveness. My only goal is to bring down every official who silenced me, who kept my petition from ever reaching your Alpha King. Berik is already out of the way. There are five more to go."
"Berik never let your petition reach the Alpha King!?" Casaio frowned.
