**ERICKSON'S POV**

"But Mom, Callum is the king." Those words just came out of Addie's mouth, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. What? What was this? What was she talking about? The king was Callum, and he was a good man? No, that couldn't be possible. That was not what we were led to understand. Briar had said that the king's name was Maxwell and that he was a human-hating asshole. Who was this Callum and when did he become king? What happened in the city since the last time that Briar was there? Did kings serve such a small term? I mean, that couldn't be the way that things really went. They didn't change that quickly, not among the wolves. I mean, how long had it been since Briar was in the city last? He had been here with us in Citrine for about a decade, but the king was not that old then, was he? Not the way that Briar told the stories.
