Only through his devotion could she establish a permanent footing in this pack.
Anyone who stood in the way of that goal, whether it was Avelina or the disdainful Caelum, would be treated as an enemy to be neutralized.
Feeling the weight of the day's events pressing down on her, she felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her.
She decided to close her eyes for just a moment to rest. However, before she could even settle into the pillows, a sound caught her attention.
