Chapter 49
The palace began to rebuild.
The news was taken with mixed emotion among the wolves. All the effort they’d made—all the wolves lost, and it was for nothing. Money undid the destruction so easily. Money made everything better again.
But this time, things would be different.
The prince introduced a treaty. Slowly, over the course of five years, werewolves would be allowed within the city walls. So long as they adhered to the same rules as everyone else, they were free to come and go as they place. The prince promised to expand to the East, rather than the West, allowing wolves to occupy the land outside of the city walls.
In this, the wolves promised peace.
Lily could not help but think the treaty would be nothing if it were not for her past with the prince. That if he had not known she was in the care of wolves, he would have never considered peace with them.
But maybe that was only wishful hoping.
