Chapter 46: Heading For a Wood Elf Royal Wedding

Dane POV

Dane’s heart ached for Thessi, but he rejoiced in her freedom, and in the wood elves’ deliverance from darkness. Really, how desperate had Drannor been to attack Thessi’s tree?

It made him immensely proud that Dirge, Thessi, and Narbeth comforted Thalira first. Such a strong, valiant woman. He didn’t envy her task, explaining about Drannor to her children.

Separating from the group, Thalira silently followed the wood elf guards who carried away Drannor’s body. All the elves and shifters stood respectfully. Arm in arm, Thessi, and Dirge walked over to her bear poplar tree with Narbeth following, tiptoeing so lightly he barely disturbed the grass.

As one, Thessi and Dirge pressed their hands to the trunk of her bear poplar tree, to the deep grooves in its bark that did, indeed, resemble a bear’s claw marks. Both of them murmured low prayers in Wood Elvish. All the wood elves watched them with adoration.
