“Definitely not.”

“Well, don’t worry, you’re with me, which gives you very good immunity.”

As I tore my glare away from the tiny, confident she-wolf with her chin lifted proudly and her stride daring anyone to question her purpose, my breath was punched right out of my lungs.

Nedra. It was like a miniature Niburgh. An entire unground city.
