Chapter 318

• Liz's POV
• The day had started rainy in Aradia, the rain falling heavily on me. Letting it wash over me, I walked at a moderate pace through the relatively deserted streets, probably because it was the morning after the full moon. As soon as I passed through the gates of Willow’s property, she detected my presence and appeared from the shadows, intercepting me at the palace entrance.
• She didn’t ask me anything, nor did she make any kind of statement; she just pulled me into a hug. I didn’t know how to feel about it, but I returned her gesture. I sensed from her energy that I had worried her in some way.
