Chapter 80 The Trinket

• XADEN POV
• The journey from the royal palace to the border was substantial, but nothing we wolves couldn’t handle.
• It had been months since I last shifted, but it still felt like second nature to me. Running on all fours as the world whooshed past me in a beautiful blur of greens, feeling the wind brush through my thick, dark fur in long, cool strokes, enveloping and entangling my body deep within the lush scents of nature.
