Chapter 94

"Here." He said as he handed out a pair of direwolf pups to Lord Stark who looked at them in surprise and trepidation.

"And… what am I to do when them Lord Bolton?" Lord Stark asked while holding the two pups awkwardly.

"My friend Briar told me that the pups have grown overly attached to your two boys." He said with a shrug "She also tells me that both your boys have a little talent for warging." A talent that became even more prominent once they started living in the magically rich area of Dreadfort.

Lord Stark looked at little shocked at the revelation and he continued.

"Briar told me that Rob and Jon have already started getting wolf dreams and have formed a bond with the direwolves. It is unfortunate that I myself don't have a talent in this area, but if they ever want to learn how to warg into the wolves then you can send me a letter and I'll send one of my more experienced wargs to teach your boys how to warg into the direwolves."

Lord Stark looked rather uncomfortable by this whole revelation but simply nodded along at his words.

He smiled "Don't worry lord Stark. Direwolves are one of the most loyal creatures you'll ever find. And rather intelligent in their own way. Your family will be far more safer thanks to these Direwolves than without."

Lord Stark nodded and looked at his sons who were having a last minute conversation with Ygritte and the other kids they'd become friends with in their month long stay in Dreadfort.

He himself was had very limited amount of free time due to all the added duties thanks to the tourney but he made sure to spend some quality time with them every now and then. And after seeing the prosperity of his lands and the success he'd gained in only half a decade, he had a feeling that Robb and Jon would have looked up at him in admiration even if he had not used any compulsion charms on them.

In the end, he bid goodbye to Lord Stark and his two sons before sending them off with an escort that would follow them till the end of Bolton lands.
