Otis's POV:

Where had Conrad gone?

I looked ahead at the empty yellow sand with some anxiety in my heart.

Conrad had always been a man who kept his word; if he'd said he'd be waiting for me in the direction of the gate, he'd be here, unless something drastic changed.

My gaze became grave as I continued to survey my surroundings.

The werewolves at the gate were still guarding where they were, they didn't look much different from when we arrived, and the commotion of my escape from the back hadn't reached here yet.

If Conrad had stormed the Totem Pack, then these guards would surely have been injured....
