Chapter 99 - Heartstrings and Heirlooms - Part II

In an attempt to distract myself from the weight of sinful thoughts that consumed my mind, I sought solace in the company of a select few wolves. Corvina, a trusted confidante, was one of them. On this particular day, we found ourselves nestled beneath the shade of a towering tree, our eyes fixed on the delightful spectacle unfolding before us. Ezio and Cia, the daughter of Nikola and Corvina, frolicked together in carefree abandon, their laughter echoing through the air like sweet music. As if drawn together by an invisible thread, their bond had blossomed rapidly, prompting us to arrange playdates that became a regular occurrence. Watching our children play, their innocent joy a balm for weary souls, brought a smile to our faces.
