(LOCKE)
It was Sigrid who had pointed out to me that Corrine had not once shifted and gone for a run since she came to the North. Sigrid had suggested that perhaps my mate was shy.
I had already been planning to show Corrine this beach and have her go for a run here, but I hadn't realized that the reason behind her unwillingness to shift was because she had never been allowed to before.
I'm starting to wonder what grudge Princess Ravenna could possibly have had against Corrine. My mate is well read, highly educated, and she knows how to carry herself. If she was being groomed to be the princess's shadow, she had to be perfect in that role.
Shadows are not unheard of in the wolf kingdoms, but they are usually concealed, to be used in times of danger. From what I understand, Corrine's existence was known to everyone in that palace.
