CHAPTER 34 – Return of the Forsaken Prince
HUNJI/KIAN
Perched on the top of a roof, I crouch on its ledge. The vast City of Eririat below me. The Kingdom was quiet in the still night air, with only the streetlights to witness my return. The potion had now worn off, but I didn’t feel any fatigue or weariness from exerting so much energy. I felt envigored, renewed.
A feeling of calm embraced my wolf and I, even when my gaze landed on the palace that sat in the center of the city. I thought I would feel something more. Maybe anger, resentment, or even unsettledness in some way. But none of those emotions pricked at the surface. Instead, the serene feeling washed over me and bled into Ruda. And it suddenly felt too peaceful.
‘She is here. I can sense her’ Ruda said as a matter of fact.
I hummed my acknowledgment to him, coming out in a gravelly growl. I too could sense our little witch. Our imprinted bond helped my wolf to feel her out.
