Chapter 98 Cracks In The Fold

• The eastern border reeked of death and failure.
• Bobby's boots hit blood-soaked earth with deliberate force, each step carrying fury that had been building since Emrys' confession in the palace corridor. Warriors froze mid-task as she approached—some hauling bodies wrapped in cloth, others tending wounded wolves who groaned with pain that shouldn't exist if their Luna Queen had been informed of the threat in time to prevent it.

Three families who would receive news that shattered their worlds while Bobby had been eating breakfast in bed, blissfully ignorant because her mate had decided she was too fragile for the truth.
