Chapter 44 Genuine Concern

• Atticus sensed that Melinda was telling the truth, but he couldn't reveal his secrets and intentions. Melinda had no idea that Atticus was the leader of the rebels, as he always appeared in his wolf form. No one in the castle knew about Atticus's ability to shift, not even Percival, who believed his nephew had lost his essence, thinking that Atticus's inner wolf had vanished.
• This was the hidden truth Atticus kept locked in his heart. The duality of his existence was devouring him. While playing the role of a useless prince at the castle, Atticus hid his true identity as the rebel leader. His ability to transform into a wolf was a secret he guarded fiercely because he knew that if it were exposed, everything could be at risk.
• Deep in the depths of his soul, Atticus yearned to break free from the restraints imposed by his human form. He found peace and strength in the wild, untamed nature of his inner wolf. His spirit connected with nature, allowing him to see beyond appearances and perceive the injustices that permeated the kingdom.
