"Isn't there any other choice? And what can Hera's blood do?" Camille asked when she realized they were slowly becoming desperate for the cruel queen's mercy.
Hera wasn't a cruel queen. She was always looking out for her people. For the Alexei wolves, queen Hera was willing to burn down the world and anyone who dared to put her people in harm's way. If that made her an unpredictable person, then she would be just that.
She didn't have time to play games and more than anything, Hera was determined to make sure Alexei didn't go back to the abandoned home that it had been over the years, a home that had her people crying out in agony and slaving away to the humans.
She wasn't going to take away the hope they had given the wolves, especially after it had taken them a long while to get to this point. Hell, even she had a purpose for her life, something that she never had when she found her way through the Alexei gates anyway.
Well someone had to go talk to Hera, right?
