It was only when Emira reached the edge of the encirclement that she realized two things at once.
First, if she really ran to Prince Kael now, he would kill her... with just a look probably.
He had just finished fighting, and his usually dark expression was darker, something she had not known was possible...So, only someone foolish enough would dare to approach him and sign their own death certificate.
Second, if she didn't go to Prince Kael, then that manipulative prince Zen, watching from the other side would certainly find some way to create trouble for her. He'd already fooled her more than once.
Either way, she was going to end up in a soup... But at least Prince Zen was the lesser evil...
And so, for the sake of self-preservation, she froze at the edge, choosing to watch... And she would have done just that, as the future Luna of Stormhold Pack, reached Prince Zen and threw her into his arms, clinging to him like a koala.
But, she was not that lucky...
