There Queen's was dabbling in dark magic beyond her comprehension.
Far from Vargorath...
Selene sat outside on a carved wooden bench. Sunlight shone through the trees. Two omegas stood near her. One was pouring tea, and the other was gently fanning her.
Across from her sat another elegant, well-dressed woman.
A short distance away, Dain leaned close to Kael and whispered, "That's Althea, Alpha Corven's daughter."
"From the Stoneveil pack," Kael muttered. "What is she doing here?"
"Maybe just a girls' day out?" Dain asked.
Selene laughed at something Althea said, completely relaxed. She looked totally peaceful, not like a woman accused of treason and kidnapping the King's mate.
Dain and Kael, approached the cabin. Selene's head turned, surprise flickering across her face.
"What is this?" she demanded, rising to her feet. "Are you here to join us or what?"
"Don't pretend you don't know why we're here," Kael said sharply.
