RYKER’S P.O.V

Camilla got dressed so that we could take Audrey to the school. I wasn’t going to let her go just anywhere without knowing what it entailed. It was a simple two storied building but it had a very tall wall at the entrance that I knew would be hard to climb over. There were guards lined around the entrance to keep it safe and I felt some of her worry ease a little. Audrey grabbed onto my hand and she squeezed tightly. I glanced down at her and gave her a small smile which she quickly returned.

The headmistress was waiting for us in front of the building. She looked to be in her mid-forties and she had a soft and kind smile. Her hair was tied in a neat bun at the base of her neck and she was in a long pleated skirt and a white shirt. She looked like the kind of person I would want to be around my daughter especially when she greeted Camilla and I then turned to greet Audrey as well. She bent over so she was at eye level with Audrey.

“Hello darling,” I liked how she didn’t speak like she was speaking to a dumb infant but rather another person. “You look beautiful, I love your dress.”

“Thank you,” Audrey smiled but she still didn’t let go of her tight grip on my hand. “You’re very pretty.”

“If it is coming from you then it has to be true,” she stood to her feet. “Please, come on in. The students are in class right now so we will not be disturbed.”

She led us to her office and I took in the entire building with careful eyes. There were guards at every turn and it gave me some sort of ease to know that there was protection available and that Audrey would be well protected. When we got to the office, the headmistress gestured for us to take a seat and she shut the door behind us to give us a semblance of privacy.

“I know you’re busy people so we can make this as quick as you want,” she began as she took her seat. “The students you see here are children of some of the highest ranking people in the nearest vicinity. We have students from other packs as well who come here. Even Elder Caius has a granddaughter who schools here.”

I raised a brow because I didn’t know that. “You don’t need to sell the school to me, Christine already did that.”

She smiled at the mention of Christine. “I knew her, she was one of my favorite students while I was here. I was a new teacher and she was an amazing girl. How is she

“She’s good, she wanted to be here but she had some things to do,” it was Camilla who
