Chapter 35: Fire Scrying

TOR POV

The sun had barely begun to illuminate the skyline when the Alphas and Betas from pack Talia and Zaire started to file into my council chambers.

Cassius stood by my side, completely healed of his injuries thanks to Selene. I looked at him and gave him a nod. In return, he slapped me gently on the shoulder. It had been a while since I had seen my trusted friend and was glad to have him at my side.

Magnus, the Alpha of Pack Zaire stood by the fire with his Beta Ira. Both were stoic-faced and silent. Pack Talia’s Alpha, Ares, approached me and gripped my arm in a warrior's greeting before standing beside his Beta Kole.

“I can’t thank you enough for your assistance yesterday,” I said gruffly, looking at Ares and then at Magnus.
