CHAPTER 417 - GRIFTERS

VALEN’S POVUnder the warm afternoon sun, the pack assembled at the grand outdoor amphitheater. The stage was bare. Usually, I didn’t need the microphone or the speakers.

It was a real heartfelt moment. They told her they loved her, even remembered some cute childhood moments, and begged each other for forgiveness about everything.It lasted a while, and I was caught up in their sentimental moment until I began to feel drained and emotionally heavy.Out of nowhere, a whisper of a breath ghosted over me.
