The Abandoned Lycan Queen Novel 127

Chapter 127

Queen Liz and I laughed at Zara's sudden outburst.

"Seemed like I wasn't the only one triggered by the Duchess' words," Queen Liz said, making all of us laugh.

Suddenly, despite the scorching heat outside and the torment the Duchess tried to throw at my way, being in here made things feel a bit lighter.
