Penélope
The shrine comes into view, illuminated by dozens of torches that cast dancing shadows across the stone structure.
I can see the pack members have gathered around.
The Lunar eclipse is about to commence but before that, we have a purge to do to this pack.
I spot Graham standing at the center near the altar, speaking with the pack seer.
Her eyes dart to me briefly in a subtle communication and my lips curl into a smile.
Besides her, Graham appears to be in a remarkably good mood.
I know why, of course. Tonight isn't just about the lunar eclipse ceremony. Tonight, Graham finalizes a deal,one that will open new trade routes and make him wealthy beyond measure.
A deal that involves trading Marcus in exchange for a partnership.
I have been thinking and wondering…why Marcus?
