GENERAL TIGERS POV
The wind carried the scent of rain, but it wasn't the storm brewing in the sky that had my wolf pacing inside me, it was the wait. I stood at the fortress gates, my arms crossed over my chest, eyes fixed on the distant road. The border guards had sent word: Raph, Rita, and Flora were returning from Sagstone Mountain. My chest tightened at the thought of seeing Ralph again. They had gone to hunt down Aqua and Fennel, and the mission had been only half successful. Aqua was dead, perishing at the hands of the beast guardians of the Golden Path. Fennel and Amos, slippery as ever, were still hiding in the mountains, but the guards had their orders, to watch them, track them. None of that mattered to me right now.
Ralph.
