Chapter 188
ISIDORA
A wide smile spread across m
my face when two huge, beautiful she-wolves stepped out from behind a few trut to
1 recognized them by their eyes. The dark brown one was Karla, and Mika’s wolf had a gorgeous honey-colored coat
“We managed to connect with their inner wolves” I moved closer, and my hand went to their inuzzles,
I bent down and rubbed them a little, playing with them even though they were enormous and heavy.
ewing warn
“Aah, hahaha.” I laughed when I fell on my butt in the grass, with both of them rubbing against me playfully
I wished I could communicate inside their minds, feel that bond between our wolves, but for me, that still wasn’t possible
“What’s so special about shifting? They should’ve done it sooner!” Legna’s sharp voice rang out behind me.
It didn’t matter that she now looked almost the same age as us. She still had the soul of a cranky old woman.
Both she-wolves went stiff, and the fun died right there.
“Killjoy…”
“What did you say, Isidora?! You’re the biggest failure of them all! Your wolf must be even lazier than you if she still hasn’t shown up!”
“Ouch.” I covered my head when something smacked me right on the crown.
It was the branch she used to
point out what we had to do, here and there, like a tiny queen.
“I want them running laps around that field. Jump the fences going and coming back. Come on, twenty laps around the circuit!” I looked toward the field where those highly poisonous plants had been planted.
If you so much as brushed against them, the itching and welts wouldn’t go away for a week.
You had to be very skilled and very fast to cross through and skirt around it without getting hurt.
Twenty laps!
I saw the desperation in the girls’ eyes, and I think right then they regretted showing their shift.
Though obviously, hiding something like that from Legna would’ve been hard.
Good luck surviving…” I gave them an awkward smile and watched them leave with their heads and tails down.
I looked resentfully at that tall woman’s proud back. Her platinum hair was tied up in a high, loose ponytail.
“Do you
think that nasty little glare of yours is going to finish me off?” I tensed when she said it before sitting down.
I looked away at once.
Damn it, that overpowered woman.
“Instead of wasting time cursing me, get stronger so you can bring out your best weapon.” She started lecturing me again, and honestly, I didn’t know how her three slaves put up with her.
I’m going to wash up a little so I don’t bother you…”

Chapter 188
No. Come take the shells off these nuts.” She stopped me, signaling to her brawniest davr like a hired killer.
The man carried over an enormous basket and set it on the ground near her table.
“Take the mat and sit down to shell them.” I stared wide-eyed at the huge basket overflowing with nuts
I expected him to set down a nutcracker next.
That never happened, and he was already leaving.
“Wait…”
“There’s no tool. Use your power and do it with your fingers.”
“What?” I looked at her in disbelief.
“You heard me. Or do you want to go jump through poisonous plants too?”
I clenched my fists, very close to asking to be released from this exploitative job.
Still, I soon understood that despite her somewhat extreme methods, everything Legna did was for our own good.
Sitting on a mat beside her, I watched the she-wolves in the distance as they ran with their tongues hanging out, quickly increasing their speed and coordination in a situation that felt almost deadly.
At the same time, I forced myself to focus my Estingia power into my fingertips and break the hard shells of the nuts.
Soon, I understood that what seemed stupid wasn’t stupid at all. The more skilled I became at handling my energy, the more control I had over the power running through my veins.
I could move it faster and with greater precision, even into a place as small as my fingers.
“Thank you,” I said suddenly, sitting on the ground near her table.
I looked
up
and saw the wind whipping at her hair. Her dark eyes seemed fixed on some point in nothing, as if she were lost in her thoughts.
“I know you made it easier for us to get that good room with the woman in charge…”
“Don’t thank me. I only heard it would be available, and I knew you were loaded. I figured you might be interested, so I mentioned it to Solange in passing…”
She said it like it was nothing while I watched her pack the long pipe she smoked from like a chimney.
I twisted my mouth, mostly because of the loaded part.
“Still, I don’t think I ever thanked you for that… or for everything…” My voice came out more solemn than I meant it to.
Legna finally turned her face toward me, and for once, I didn’t see any hardness in her or that mocking edge she always carried.
“What do you really want to talk to me about, Isidora? Don’t start circling it. Just spit it out.”
She read me completely, and I couldn’t hold back the uncertainty eating at me anymore.
“There’s a curse on Blaze. Something related to wolf shadows that appear out of nowhere and make him frantic. He gets lost, like… like he’s going mad…”
