Chapter 89

Auren POV

The wind rushed past me as Remus ran fast through the forest. Though his warm fur kept me from shaking, my hands were still cold, my heart was heavy. I didn't do anything wrong. All I did was to defend myself, so why was I being taken like a prisoner! It seemed like someone was befund all rius Someone powerful and someone who could pull strings at the High Council

The trees blurred around us. Dry leaves crunched under Remus's paws. Behind us, the High Council wolves and witches followed.
