Chapter 0074
That night, my cold had healed enough that I could finally be reunited with Elva. I ran to her, and she ran to me. When she came close, I scooped her up into my arms and held her. Her arms came around my
neck and she held me right back.
“I missed you, Elva. So much.”
“I missed you, Mommy.
Mark and the nanny eventually joined us and I thanked them both profusely for watching my daughter.
Thank you!” Elva said. “Thanks, Uncle Mark!”
I blinked.
Uncle Mark?
I looked at him and he looked embarrassed.
“I didn’t teach her that, I swear. She started doing it all on her own.”
I had been surprised, but I supposed I shouldn’t have been. After all, it had been a similar sequence of
events that had led Elva to calling Anna, Auntie Anna.
“Don’t worry,” I told him. “Elva has a mind of her own about some things.”
Mark seemed relieved.
“Mommy,” Elva said. “Are we going to meet wolves tomorrow?”
“We?”” I looked to Mark for explanation.
“Prince Nicholas personally invited Miss Elva,” he said.
“It could be dangerous.” I didn’t have an inner wolf so couldn’t speak to the wolves like the others could.
I would have limited warning if a wolf was growing annoyed and might snap.
“Prince Nicholas is aware of your situation,” Mark said. “He’s asked me to relay to you that neither you
nor Elva have anything to fear.
“I want to meet the wolves, Mommy!”
Nicholas wouldn’t purposefully endanger Elva. Of that, I was certain. If he said we would be safe, then
we would be safe.
“Okay.” I told her. “We’ll go and meet the wolves tomorrow.”
“Yay!” Elva cheered.
Despite Nicholas’s reassurances, my nerves continued to be heightened as I carried Elva out past the gardens and into the grassy fields beyond, where the wolves were lined up, ready to greet their partners.
“Down, please,” Elva said.
