บท 86: Chapter 86

  The soft ground muffled the sounds of the horse's hooves as they struck the path. 

The poor beasts were exhausted, but they still had another day of hard riding ahead of them before they reached harry's castle. 

They had been on the road for nearly three days, and they were all irritable.

Isla glanced over at Kelly who had treated her colder than she liked. 

He wasn't rude, nor less affectionate, but she felt like he was holding back from her. 

He didn't want to risk their lives to save Mikel, not in the slightest, but she had made him.

  She didn't insist that he go with her, in fact she tried to talk him out of it, but Kelly wasn't about to let her out of his sight.

There was also the matter of Samantha, who had agreed to get them into the castle if Gaius spared her life. 

She was a constant presence, so they couldn't talk without her hearing, and she didn't know they were wolves.
