Chapter 80 : The Time We Have

We sent Archer off with a hastily drafted letter to the Alpha King. It wasn't much, but it seemed to make Eliza happy and it meant I wasn't being completely neglectful.

Eliza was right–the royal family was technically my family. But it didn't mean I was going to turn my back on Eliza and the curse that infected her.

Whenever I saw the tattoo on her arm, my own shadow stirred uncomfortably close to the surface. I'd never let that same curse claim her too.

We went back to the temple, where the Saboreef Alpha was still sorting through all his scrolls and tomes.

“I need to know something," I said, walking straight up to him.

He nodded slowly. “What can I help you with?"

“We've heard rumors of a Saboreef witch that became a pack Luna. I need to know her name and where to find her."

“Need?" the elder asked, arching an eyebrow.

I crossed my arms. “Yes, she could help in breaking the curse."

“Well, witches do know curses. I can see why you would seek her help. She was always exceptionally powerful, long before she even knew how to use that power," the elder explained.

“Please, tell us about her." I looped my arm around Eliza's hips.

“Her name is Mila Black, married to Alpha Soren Black. They are Alpha and Luna of the Alvar pack," the elder said. He started sifting through his tomes again.

“Where can we find her?"

“That, I do not know. She could be anywhere these days. But here...." He handed me a tome. “This has some good information about Mila Black."

“Black… that last name sounds really familiar," Eliza said. She took the tome from me.

I watched her eyes rapidly fly back and forth over the page. Her eyes widened suddenly and she gasped.

“Mila Black is Ciana's mother," Eliza said.

“Uh… Ciana?" The name sounded familiar but it wasn't one I'd heard in recent memory.

Eliza shook her head. “Jared, you really should catch up with your brother. He might know… well, Ciana married your Uncle Theo. She's your aunt. Theo was a Dark King."

“Right now, my biggest interest is in finding Mila. We can dissect my family history later," I grumbled.

Eliza chuckled and shook her head at me again. “You're hopeless. According to this, there's a good chance Mila is in Winter Forest."

“Which could lead us to the Diadem of Nyx."

Eliza nodded.
