The next morning I found Sera and Pryor waiting near the entrance.
Three healers stood with them. Two guards waited nearby looking ready to leave. Caius was there too.
That should have warned me.
The moment I reached them, Caius looked at me.
Then he looked at the bag over my shoulder.
Then he looked back at me.
I narrowed my eyes.
"What?"
His expression didn't change.
"Stay with the group."
I sighed.
"I will."
"Good."
I waited.
Unfortunately, he wasn't finished.
"If someone starts asking questions about you, let Sera answer them."
That caught my attention.
"Why?"
"The High Council arrives soon."
That was fair.
The fewer conversations about the Celestial wolf before the Council meeting, the better.
"I can do that."
"Good."
I folded my arms.
"Anything else?"
