Chapter 190

Elvira POV

Since I haven’t been able to reach Denrik, the priest, the frustration has been building in the pit of my chest like smoke in a sealed room. His absence was more than just an inconvenience, it was a wall between me and answers I desperately needed.

For days, my attempts had been met with silence. No returned messages. No word from anyone who might know where he’d gone. So I buried myself in my own research, combing through dusty, half-forgotten records in the archives, digging into old maps, temple registries, and even faded travel notes tucked into brittle leather-bound journals.

That was when I found it, Denrik’s temple wasn’t in the heart of Morrien as I’d assumed. Instead, it sat tucked in the jagged valley between Morrien and Blackfang territory. The realization sent a sharp chill through me, because Blackfang was Brielle’s pack.
