Chapter Eighty One

* Princess Zeina *

"How is he doctor?"

All eyes were fixed on the bed where Chief Greene lay motionless. His body was still, but his expression had shifted, gone was the look of pain and unrest that had haunted him for days. Now, it seemed he was only dreaming, as though whatever plagued him had temporarily loosened its grip. It made me feel at ease.

The pack doctor turned to me, bowing his head slightly in respect.

"He is actually in good condition, Your Majesty. I believe his human form is struggling to adapt to the surge of strength granted by his awakening. That's likely what caused him to collapse. However, I believe once he completes his shift, things will stabilize. The fight with the guards triggered the process. He's close, very close, to fully taking on his wolf form."

Relief swelled in my chest, and I let out a slow, calming breath. It was the first good news we'd had in days, about Cheif Greene and his transformation from human into a wolf.
