DOUBLE CHAPTER TONIGHT!
If you like music while you read, try "Louder than a Lion" by Halsey. It's what I listened to while writing this chapter!

~ TARKYN ~
Tarkyn did his best not to reveal that he was analyzing as much of the combat of these two wolves as he could. Granted, they were in human form and would have other tricks and skills in their beast forms. But even this was eye-opening.
Tarkyn found himself humbled, suddenly grateful that he wasn't required to fight Zev one-on-one.
He couldn't quite bring himself to certainty that he would win.
When Zev's mate, Sasha, approached, he'd been wary. But she'd proven thoughtful and far more open than he might have hoped.
He knew Elreth hoped for her to be instrumental in bringing peace, so he took the risk of splitting his attention between the fight and what he could learn there, and discussing the issues with her—but he asked pointed questions.
