Chapter 44 What Is She Hiding?

• Alpha Aric Darkclaw.
• The days passed like a massive fog, vague and dragging. The princess's absence had become a painful habit, an unhealed wound that throbbed with every sunrise. I spent most of the time in silence, isolated in my chambers or in the castle garden, trying to get some fresh air., watching the winds blowing across the mountains, trying to wait for news from the soldiers without too much anxiety.
• I had spent a whole day doing absolutely nothing, just thinking and waiting. I tried to keep calm before I started demanding certain answers. I was impatient, and very impatient.
