Chapter 16

I sat at the table looking at the dinner, but I didn't feel hungry. I got up and then lay down again, rolled from side to side until I finally fell asleep.

I had been isolated in my room for three days, I had asked one of the servants for wine while she brought the meals, and my request had been granted. Her name was Liz, the redhead from the first time.

I spent these days getting drunk so that I could close my eyes without seeing those shattered bodies, without seeing that terrible werewolf, and even that guard that Daniel had killed in front of me. On the fourth day I woke up and decided not to drink, took a shower and got dressed, then went to talk to Daniel about an escort back to the palace. He was in the stables tending to his horse, but he also intended to speak the truth.

When he saw me entering the stables, he immediately turned to me.

" Daniel, we need to talk." I said, stepping closer.

I was going to tell the truth, even if it didn't make any sense.
