CHAPTER 490
~Snow's POV~
"Alpha Alexander just sent word," Alpha Draven said. "He wants us to come to his territory for further discussion. He said he'll reveal his position after meeting face to face."
I didn't hesitate. "Fine. If it saves lives, we go the extra mile. I'm ready."
Draven gave a curt nod. "We'll depart at dawn."
I nodded back, my hands resting on the edge of the table. "What of Zeno and Xavier?"
"Zeno is arriving here tomorrow," he said, adjusting the scroll. "We'll host him, then proceed together to Xavier's region. He's... hesitant. His lands are secure, untouched by rogue attacks. He doesn't yet see the need to act."
"Then we'll make him see it," I said simply.
"As you wish."
With that, Draven exited, leaving me in the dim silence of strategy and tension.
I stared down at the map, eyes unfocused, my mind still caught on the invisible thread humming faintly in the space between me and Zara.
