Chapter 71

Dylan POV

These lessons with the dowager queen Luna were proving to be a lot tougher than I first thought. We were currently walking down a long hallway decorated with large portraits of people, the queen was currently going through the history of the lycanthrope, while I was trying my hardest to retain the information she gave me.
