Chapter 26

• Alphose and Degar led the way back to the Alpha King's tower, in quick steps and tensed silence.
• The sentinels at the guard scented them before they got closer and opened the gate for the three of them, bowing their heads in greeting to their King.
• The King beside Alphose said nothing. His muscles were bunched and tensed, his face a blank slate. But, everyone around can practically feel the tension radiating from him in waves.
