We sent Archer off with a hastily drafted letter to the Alpha King. It wasn’t much, but it seemed to make Eliza happy and it meant I wasn’t being completely neglectful.
Eliza was right–the royal family was technically my family. But it didn’t mean I was going to turn my back on Eliza and the curse that infected her.
Whenever I saw the tattoo on her arm, my own shadow stirred uncomfortably close to the surface. I’d never let that same curse claim her too.
We went back to the temple, where the Saboreef Alpha was still sorting through all his scrolls and tomes.
“I need to know something,” I said, walking straight up to him.
He nodded slowly. “What can I help you with?”
“We’ve heard rumors of a Saboreef witch that became a pack Luna. I need to know her name and where to find her.”
“Need?” the elder asked, arching an eyebrow.
I crossed my arms. “Yes, she could help in breaking the curse.”
