Chapter 85

　　‘Nina, wait before you go. You will come back to see me tomorrow?’ Alec pleads.

　　I approach the bars and grasp his hand in mine, ‘I’ll come back as soon as possible.’

　　Yiselda, Reaper and I leave Pandora’s Box and port to Shadow Crest.

　　The wolf council are still talking to Magnus in the dining room. I take my seat next to Magnus. He takes my hand, kisses it, and resumes his focus on Alpha Bennet.

　　'Yiselda, I informed Alpha Amir and Alpha Theaton about what I witnessed in Pandora's Box, confirming its contents.' So, for the time being, we've agreed that witches can live in Shadow Crest.'

　　'For the time being?' Yiselda is confused.

　　'Yes, for now,' he answers as he stands up. 'We'll say our goodbyes and stay in touch,' he says as he walks towards the packhouse's entrance. Alpha Amir and Alpha Theaton are right behind him as he walks out the door.

　　Ela, Fern, Ria, and Lilac rejoice and hug each other as they learn they will be able to stay in Shadow Crest.
