I was not even a minute into my school day when some random guy blocked my path and whipped out a wolf badge straight up in my face.
~Valeria~"If this doesn't work, I'm throwing the ring in the trash."My father looked up from where he was setting up the clearing. "You're not throwing a centuries-old magical artifact in the trash.""Watch me."We were back in t
~Valeria~"Why?" I asked. "Wouldn't the Dark Wolf King use a service door?""He'll use whatever's least guarded. If we stack the public entrances, he'll try service doors.
