Chapter 116: King

Landan says a few words as we walk away from the cabin. His voice dies out when he realizes I’m paying no attention. He’s quickly learned the nuances of dealing with Shadow Warriors, and he makes his escape with a muttered excuse of checking on things, whatever that means.

My Beast has fully accepted Marinah as Alpha. Unfortunately, there are two beings inside this body, and I personally wanted to bite her head off for dismissing me so abruptly. I no longer have delusions over who could kill who. Marinah takes her training seriously, and every Shadow Warrior has seen her change into a deadly fighting machine even when she’s not in Nova form. She’s been working on that too. Her control isn’t great and pulling forth her Nova takes a lot out of her. If she’s angry about something, it’s easier which doesn’t make her happy. She wants absolute control over each facet of her Warrior, and I have no doubt she’ll achieve it, eventually.

Beast finally grumbles, mate.
