The trip to Rowan’s territory took six days.
For the first time since the Hollow King fell, Luna and Darius traveled without an army.
Just six Blackwood wolves came with them.
Kael, Ronan, Evelyn, and Mason.
And two scouts who insisted they were only there because Darius still had a habit of forgetting to eat on the road.
“I do not,” Darius said flatly.
Evelyn looked at him.
“You skipped lunch yesterday,” she said.
“We were riding,” Darius replied.
“You skipped breakfast,” she added.
“We left early,” he said.
“You skipped dinner,” Evelyn continued.
“I was busy,” Darius said.
Luna smiled.
“With paperwork,” she added.
Darius sighed.
“I married six people,” he muttered.
“No,” Mason said. “You married one.”
He nodded at the others.
“The rest of us are just here for free.”
