Adelaide returned late after training the troops, the bronze wolf–head gates slowly shutting behind her.

The bonfire’s glow cast everything in a dim, yellow–orange light.

“You could at least put on a better show,” I said. “The Davidson family’s reputation is being dragged through the mud because of you.”

The shadow–wolf emblem on her pauldron glimmered.
