Chapter 22 : Waking Amaya

*Wren*

I fucking hated Bludleach. I hated being there. I never liked how reality shifted there, all laws of physics and reason were void. I couldn’t trust my senses, I was wary of my thoughts. Everything felt alien. Goddess, I fucking hated it. But I wouldn’t leave without her.

I was beside myself. I trusted the witches, I knew their magic was strong and they’d be the only people who could help her. But it was hard to be so helpless. I’ve never felt this out of control. I was alpha and a king. I was responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and I swore to protect them. And now I felt like I couldn’t protect Amaya.

I began to pace before the fireplace in the fantastical cottage in the tent. My stomach was in knots. I should’ve intervened but she was her own person, it was her choice to make. I respected her. And I wanted nothing more than to switch places with her.
