The trading market is a massive, multi-tiered stone complex built directly into the mountain side.

Noticing that my scent carried a heavy, frustrated vibration, Elizabeth had extended an invitation to navigate the trade market that weekend to allow my mind to detach from the pressure. Elizabeth, whose temperament rarely authorized her tongue to converse with outsiders, had suddenly initiated this outing, leaving my wolf structurally unable to decline the gesture. Compared to the hyper-elite sectors of Seacisco, the central trading bazaars within the Barnes Citadel were far more accessible and deeply tied to the rugged terrain. During pack holidays and even standard weekends, the territory masters would authorize all manner of tribal festivals and trade events across the pavilions. The exa
