บท 166: Chapter 166 Crisis Was Brewing

**Soren’s POV

I never in a million years thought I would receive the looks of respect from the Winter Forest pack around me, but when I stepped back into their territory again, I was welcomed like a hero.

They trusted me because I protected Rowan, bringing the heir to the kingdom back to his people.

However, I turned down the invitation to move to the palace. Instead, I insisted on returning to my cottage every night, even if I spent the day with Rowan in the palace. The cottage reminded me of my time with Rosalie back on the islands, and every time I closed my eyes, I could see her smiling face.

It broke my heart when I had to escape without her, leaving her back with my half-brother, a wolf who was losing his mind.

But at the end of the day, at least I was able to get Rowan away. I was able to bring him back to Rosalie’s people, as Rosalie requested. Now, I just needed to work with the pack to bring Rosalie back–if that was at all possible.
