Chapter 86: Ciana’s Charming Spell

The tunnels were too narrow to fit a wolf and thus Tallis couldn’t shift. We had been running for what felt like hours.

“Wait…” I panted trying to catch my breath.

Tallis looked like he had barely broken a sweat and meanwhile here I was gasping for dear life. It was annoying just how athletic he was but then again he was an alpha, a royal one at that.

“We need to keep moving if we want to make it back to Alvar on time.”

“We will,” I panted, “I just need to catch my breath. Not all of us can be insanely fit like you.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.” If I didn’t know any better I would think that Tallis was flirting with me.

“In your wildest dreams,” I stood to my full height, my vision becoming a little clearer than it had been some time ago. “We can go now.”

And we picked up right where we left off. This time I was able to keep in step with him.
