The hall doors suddenly opened again.
Several wolves turned immediately.
A guard stepped aside quickly, and then Adele walked in with Alpha Blackfen beside her.
The reaction inside the hall shifted almost instantly. The wolves closest to the entrance bowed immediately in reverence.
"Alpha Blackfen." they greated.
Alpha Blackfen barely acknowledged them.
His massive frame carried his signature quiet authority as he moved through the hall with Adele beside him.
He wore black as usual with heavy white fur rested over his shoulders. Beside him, Adele looked calm.
Her chin remained lifted gracefully, and her expression revealed almost nothing.
However, the moment she stepped inside, Torak's entire world stopped completely.
The noise inside the hall dulled into a distant and hollow sound.
He had not seen her in weeks. For weeks, he had not heard her voice without memory interfering.
