By Darwin’s reaction, I knew at once that the voice belonged to the Alpha of Sky Pride. I shifted in my seat and turned around to face him. When I did, I was surprised by his

appearance.

He was

quite tall, with dark skin, gray hair, and beard, and a large belly. His brown eyes crinkled at the corners and when he smiled, I was impressed by the whiteness of his teeth.

He walked into the room with the support of a young woman. They both appeared ill, though they wore it differently. The young woman was beautiful, with long, thick curly dark hair, and pretty hazel eyes, but her frame was incredibly thin. A small wind could easily have blown her away.

The Alpha himself appeared to have difficulty breathing. Once he reached us, he opened his mouth to speak but began to cough before he could utter a word.

Darwin rushed over to support him on the other side. He smiled at the young woman, and she lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

“The pleasure is all mine,” I replied with a small smile of my own and then I introduced the rest of my group.

Arthur offered a round of nods and smiles, but when he caught sight of Roxy, he frowned in confusion. To his credit, the dark-haired sorceress had been tied up with a robe and was standing beside a soldier of the Myriad. It was a strange sight to be certain, but I tried to explain it simply.
