"What?" Moreen asked, her eyes wide.
Nina smiled.
"Come with me."
Three hours later, they were seated inside a carriage riding through town.
Moreen had barely spoken since they left. She sat stiffly across from Nina, her hands clenched tightly in her lap. A sheen of sweat covered her forehead despite the cool breeze slipping through the carriage opening. Every now and then, she would glance at Nina, as though hoping the Luna would suddenly change her mind and order them back home.
Nina, however, appeared completely unbothered.
After a few minutes, she would lean forward and peer through the opening of the carriage, her eyes sweeping over the streets outside.
The guards at the pack's gates had bowed immediately Moreen had presented the Luna token. At first, they had exchanged startled glances among themselves before quickly lowering their heads and stepping aside to let them pass.
