Chapter 0805 Nina

The dizzying swirl of the realm jump left my head spinning for a few precarious moments as the world rematerialized around us. One second, we had been standing in the sterile confines of our headquarters the next, the familiar sights and scents of the werewolf realm enveloped us in a dizzying rush.

My heart was pounding, a rumble of nervous anticipation reverberating through my veins. After all this time wondering, fearing the worst... Aldric, my father, was alive.
