Chapter 23 Seeing Juan AgainPt2

• The two princesses laughed. While Leslie laughed heartily, Ashina forced hers. She hoped with all her heart that Leslie wasn't going to pull her outside someday to spar with her. Ashina knew she had to come up with a solid way to mask her inability to morph into a full werewolf.
• Deep inside her, she knew that wasn't possible. Everyone could morph, so it was going to be pretty easy to spot the her-the odd one out. Even with the false news that spread in the palace about her fight with Juan, Ashina knew that soon it was going to die down and she was going to be required to show her wolf. How mortifying it was going to be if they found out about this secret of hers. She knew she was going to be bundled and carted away, back to Arthenis.
• While indeed, she wanted to leave Scyta, she didn't want to do it in a way that was going to bring shame or harm to her people. These thoughts ran through her mind while she laughed with Leslie.
