Kapitel 17: Chapter 17

Betrayed by Blood~

The doors opened, and Cain stepped in, his boots clicking against the marble-tiled floor. Behind him were Xander and Callum. They had arrived at the Nightshade Pack, the king's pack.

The room was grand and cold, its high ceilings casting long shadows across the room. At the far end, on a raised platform, the king sat upon his gilded throne, with his queen beside him. To their far left was the council, three elderly men who helped the king make his decisions.

Seated across from the throne to the left was the Richards family. The young brother, now the pack alpha, the mother, and the sister. Rowan's brother sat in the front, his posture stiff, eyes fixed on Cain as if daring him to meet his gaze.

Cain paused at the center of the room and nodded at the king and queen, "Your Majesties," he said, his gaze landing on the king. It had been a while since he last saw the man, yet he somehow looked the same.
