CHAPTER 71 DAMIEN’S POV The preparation for the Moon festival were in full array. The corridors were bustling with pack members rushing back and forth.The palace looked better. Not just the palace even the cities looked better. Since Raven’s sacrifice of healing Vera after she woke up many of the children also started to recover as well. It was as though the sacrifice should Raven could lead. Like she was finally falling into her role has Alpha.Training with Raven had been short since preparations of the festival began. At first, Raven was against the idea of the festival because of Adrian, and I agreed with her. Adrian could show up at any moment, and letting our guard down didn’t feel safe. But the festival was tradition. It wasn’t something that couldn’t just been done. The pack looked forward to it, and with everything that had been happening, everyone needed a release. The festival gave them that opportunity,

CHAPTER 73 DAMIEN’S POV Before the hunt, Kiara had come to remind me about the fact that I had to mark her. At first, it hadn’t seemed like a difficult thing to do I might not have had feelings for Kiara, but she was betrothed to me and it was a marriage of duty. But now, I was struggling.

I wanted her to know that I could come get her out if she felt suffocated and couldn’t leave. And although she hadn’t called for me I felt it through the bond.
