A Loophole

Queen Victoria turned back to Laina with a smile as they locked arms and went on their way. Upon entering, Laina felt a familiar presence and so did Kol. Though it was faint, Laina realized who it was as soon as a wolf came running up to Queen Victoria.

"Victoria-" Laina was about to warn the werewolf queen.

But she soon realized she did not have to. Clearly, there had been some form of development in the time since they have last met. When Victoria realized Laina was just standing there, dumbfounded, by her interaction with the wolf.

The wolf, upon realizing there were guests in the room with Victoria, quickly realized who it was. Titan, who was with Laina barred his teeth at the wolf.

"Easy, Titan, easy," Laina said as she pets him on the head.

At Laina's command, Titan softened his resolve.

"I assume you already realized who this wolf might be," Victoria said with a smile.

"I have my suspicions," Laina replied in disbelief.
