. RPOV We returned to Alberta's office, still in wolf form. The normally spacious office was dwarfed when our massive bodies entered. Abe looked a little worried, but I wasn't sure if it was because we were giant beasts or if he was worried about me. "Are you alright, Rose?" Alberta asked after Dimitri had closed the door with his tail. I sat back on my haunches while Dimitri stood behind me protectively. Now that he knew the threat was against me, there was no way that I could get him to relax. "I'll get there. Do we know for a fact that there isn't a threat against Lissa?" I asked, looking at Abe for my answer. "Absolutely sure, well, not from these Strigoi anyway. She is still a Princess, there's going to be a threat no matter what, but she's safe inside the wards."
