No shit.
I could have told him that; in so many ways, wolf packs are far behind their human counterparts. Even the humans have run little news clips on these things. Especially the rates of sexual assault on women, or wolf-on-wolf violence.
"How do you know this?" Vanessa asks suspiciously. "You said communication has been disrupted."
"Not all communication. Only those relying on human technology."
"Then shouldn't you know more about what's happening in the world?" I frown at the inconsistency.
"If I had people to communicate with, I would know. I don't, so I am as lost as you are, witchling. Here. A map." Acarus tosses a rolled up paper to Marcus.
For some reason, I expected something old and antique, with yellowed paper and jagged edges.
This is more like a smooth poster banner, neatly rolled up. A modern map.
Of course it is. Why would I think otherwise?
F I N A L L Y !
Who else is doing a happy dance?
I'm doing a happy dance.
This has, BY FAR, been the hardest volume for me to write. Between all the plot lines I thought were a good idea when I thought up this book (I'm wanting to strangle past-Lenaleia, honestly) and the way I wanted this book to go, on top of being sick and busy IRL... it's been a struggle.
My hat goes off to everyone who's ever written a long saga of books. It's rough.
To finally have my leads together again... ahhh... I can't wait~ the volume isn't even over, but I have that celebratory feeling like it is haha.
Still have a long road ahead, but my leads are finally going to be together again~ woohoo!
