The scent was faint, but thankfully, the Zachs's knights were too busy pretending they were too important to walk—so they opted for their fancy, over-the-top carriages.
Because who needs legs when you can just roll around in a mobile shrine to your own ego, right?
It was honestly a little contradictory. The Zacharias prided themselves on their mysterious, secluded lifestyle. But their knights were parading around in carriages so flashy, they might as well have had a neon sign announcing their presence.
Did they want to stay out of the spotlight? Or were they just pretending to be all mysterious while flexing their wealth?
Anyway, the Wintertooth pack—well, some of them—had been trailing a series of these self-important carriages like a bunch of stealthy shadow-dwellers.
They were waiting for the perfect spot to spring their ambush. Since they were outnumbered, they'd have to make the terrain work for them.
