Talia and Meg went on the side to discuss the situation related to the upcoming Council of the Alphas, leaving Cornelia and James to sit on the sofa.
James couldn't get out of his head what he overheard. "Cora, is it true that one day here is like a month in the Midnight Guardians pack?"
Cornelia confirmed. "It's the same in my realm."
James' eyes lit up. "How about we go there? My father expects me to return in a few days, but we could stay there a few months!"
Cornelia's mood dropped. After one week or one month, James was planning to return home, wherever that was, and… was he planning to leave her behind? "Let's talk about it later. For now, we need to return to the Dark Howlers pack."
"Don't you want to stay for the Alpha ceremony?", James asked Cornelia.
Cornelia was not in the mood for ceremonies.
James is smart... sixteen years-old, but still smart.
