Kapitel 172: The Conclave

Watching Tarkyn led away under guard felt like it tore her heart from her chest, but to her surprise, Kyelle didn't follow the males. She stayed next to Harth, talking quietly with a couple of other female wolves, all of them watching the cluster of males march away, taking Harth's heart and safety with it.

"I think you'll be glad to hear, we removed the borders, Harth—even before we learned we'd been discovered. Everyone is free to move as they want… well, obviously not against our neighbors. But you understand," Kyelle said a moment later. Harth felt like the woman was trying to distract her from her anguish at her mate's treatment. It wouldn't work, but she appreciated the thought.
