Chapter 46

Trap.

I don't know how I get back to my chamber after that, my vision's blurry and the world keeps spinning away. Jorgen's hurtful words are ringing in my ears.

Everything and everyone is against us, besides an ordinary shifter like me doesn't get involved with superior breeds of mages. Our worlds clash and I need to focus on finding other members of my family.
