Chapter 187

• "To answer your next question about why I let you live…"
• The Queen cleared her throat. "It was because you were born one minute after Nyra. The flowers bloomed, which meant she represented life. You, on the other hand, represented death. I wanted to maintain balance. I could never allow you to become the heir of the Knight Pack, nor would I allow Nyra's life to be threatened because of your existence. But you were still a descendant of the Knight Pack and my granddaughter. I could only send you to the farthest place possible. The farther away from her, the safer she would be."
• Queen Jessica said all this without any guilt in her expression, as if she was telling a story about something less serious than a person's life.
