Chapter 105

Elara's POV

Zorath's voice cut the air like a claw.

"Elara, that's because you haven't heard the stories about him. If I told you what Zarek Vane has done—"

I didn't let him finish. "Stories aren't truth. Rumors carry no scent. I trust what I see with my own eyes."

Zorath's jaw tightened, but before he could argue again, his gaze shifted past me, over my shoulder. My wolf stirred, hackles rising.
