MAELIS"My lady, you have to push with more strength," The midwife urged with a strained voice.The room was smothering with heat, the resulting sweat ran down my temples like the dripping drench of water, mingling with the tears that wet my lids at the burning sensation from below, "I can't," I muttered weakly, my hands digging into the bloodstained sheets below."You have to, just one more push, the baby is almost out," The midwife said, popping her head upward to give me a quick concerned glance."Push, my lady!" She directed one more.My teeth gnashed, agony ripping through me like lightning zapping through the sky, I threw my head back and let out a loud cry, pushing with all my might, my body trembled, my mind split into fragments of anguish....Then, it all stopped.A sharp cry broke through the silence, loud, unmistakable.My baby was here."It's a boy," The midwife cried with joy and my lips tugged back into a faint relieved smile.My eyes clouded with an haziness, the baby's

Those were the voices of my council, wolves appointed by the people of Eryndor and my Father's authority to be the voice of reason or so they claimed. For weeks, reports had flooded in of rogues, discarded wolves from different Packs who cared no whit for the laws guiding Eryndor, set in place by my forefathers. They had laid siege on the lands bordering my kingdom, killing and plundering all that they could find. They spared no one, making a bloody
