Chapter 897
Third Person’s POV
Pandora wiped away her tears.
“Your sister used to keep me company here, but now she’s been locked away in the Enforcement Bureau. And you’re heading back to Hudson City, leaving me all alone in this empty palace. How could you do this to me? My wolf is stronger than you think. I can still shift. On the journey to Hudson City, I can travel through the forests in my wolf form. God really miss that feeling-the freedom of running wild through the mountains and fields. Si you refuse to speak to the King for me, fine. I’ll go talk to him myself. I’m certain he’ll appr my request.”
“Mom, trust me. We’ll be together again,” Germain said.
He paused before adding, “Just wait a little longer.”
Pandora reached out and held his hand.
She’d been ill for a long time, and her hand had wasted away to nothing but bone and vein, with hardly any flesh left. Yet her grip was unexpectedly strong.
“No, Germain, listen to me. Peace has finally returned to this country, and the Northern Kingdom has become what your father envisioned while he was alive-peaceful, prosperous, and a place where even ordinary werewolves can live a good life. Nothing matters more than that. We werewolves are pack creatures. A home to settle in and thrive-that’s been our people’s dream for generations.”
Germain’s expression stiffened for a moment. Then he forced a faint smile.
“Mom, you’ve spent most of your life in New York. Everything you’ve heard has been carefully chosen. People only tell you the good news. You’ve never seen the whole picture.
“New York is prosperous, yes. But do you know how many people along the borders are still living in poverty and hunger? Some of them can’t even afford to raise their own pups!”
Pandora shook her head, about to say something, but Germain beat her to it.
“And do you know how the father and son from the Frostfang Pack died down on the southern border?
“Lycan Erasmus could have dispatched Lance to their aid much sooner. Yet he hesitated, fearing that Lance’s military power and growing prestige would eclipse his own and endanger
his throne. His delay cost the two people their lives on that brutal battlefield.”
“No…” Pandora’s voice trembled. “I don’t believe that. That’s not the truth!
“That must be some rumor you heard.
“I may have never fought on a battlefield, but I know how complicated the situation is on th southern border. Bentley did reclaim those lands, but then the Dragon Ash Kingdom hit th with a surprise attack. No one foresaw that-not the King, not the Council elders. Plus, at th time, the King had just gotten the New York factions under control. You can’t blame him fo not expecting the tide of battle to turn overnight.”
