Avana returned to her room, still puzzled by what she heard her internal wolf had said. She wanted to talk to Adam, but he seemed missing from the grounds. So, she could only speculate that he was down in his dungeon.

She had no access to his secret place. Therefore, all she could do was wait for his return. In the meantime, she still tried to process what she had learned from her wolf. Could that even be possible?
