Chapter 148 The Accusation

• ~ Elara ~
• The moment I stepped through the door of the packhouse, the heavy silence hit me like a wave. My muscles still ached from the fight with Rowan, but I felt lighter, more confident, knowing that at least one of the pack’s higher-ups was finally taking me seriously. I had won a small battle, but the war was far from over.
• As I made my way through the halls, I spotted Seraphina standing by the main staircase, her arms crossed over her chest and a wicked smile curling at her lips. I didn’t trust that smile. It was the same one she wore every time she was plotting something. My steps slowed, a sense of foreboding settling into my bones.
