After two days of negotiating and discussing terms, Sofia and Caleb finally reached a mutual agreement. The most important clause for Sofia had been that should anything happen to her, Caleb would accept her wolves into Summer without question.
Sofia had rejected Caleb’s suggestion that her wolves should go ahead and move closer to Summer. Instead, she insisted they would not forfeit their lands unless they had no choice.
Caleb had contacted Axel, and they each agreed to send units to Burning Ember. Reinforcing their borders to protect them from a potential retaliation for Sofia’s rejection of Autumn’s terms.
All in all, Caleb felt very good about this new alliance.
He was packing the last of his things, preparing to return home when there was a knock at his door.
“Come in,” he called.
The door opened and on the other side stood Sofia.
“May I enter?” she asked.
“Of course,” Caleb replied.
