“Chin up, love.I know the king.He is being a dickhead, but he isn’t unfaithful.It is nearly impossible for one to cheat on their mate.At least for us Lycans, anyway,” he tells me before strolling off toward the guards at the end of the hall.

“She is always all over him, though I thought he learned after the last time,” a cook named Sheri tells Amanda, who sighs heavily.

“Enough, ladies, we will find out.You know the king is on edge after the news he received last night,” Clarice says, cutting the ladies off.

“What news?”I ask Clarice curiously, but it is Sheri who answers.

“Another family was found, and more children by the river,” she explains with a grim expression on her face.

“How old were they?”I ask, horrified that more rogues were killed.

“A few around our queen’s age, and some young ones, about five or six years old, and an elderly woman,” Clarice answers before she sniffles.
