Even if it takes long to make our first shift, we should keep building our power. When the time comes, we’ll be ready.”
Lyra was amazed at het wolf’s positivity. After Devon’s rejection, Ras hak become weaker. That meant event if there was a possibility that Lyra could shift after so many years őr failing to do
