Chapter 199
The villagers stood in stunned silence, feeling the sting of an injustice they couldn’t fathom.
They hadn’t done a thing.
The chief had heard the creature before them, a Werewolf, no less, had been denied some mystical title because of someone’s blunder, and he’d called the culprit an absolute fool, nearly fainting in disbelief.
