Chapter 228

• The pure emotion in Ares's words set Rue's heart leaping into a frenzy of emotions that nearly clogged her throat. She swallowed the lump and let her eyes roam over the wolves behind her.
• Their breathing was ragged, the air coming out in puffs of fog as they showed their rage for the dark witch ahead. Rue's heart leaps again. Never had she thought in a million years that wolves would fight alongside her. She felt her eyes moisten at the thought.
• She sucked in some air to relax her nerves and turned to face Mericel. Whatever was about to go down now would set the future of the wolf people.
