Yeah, it didn't come to a fight, but I genuinely feel sorry for Zaire. But alas, history is history, and you can't turn back time. By the way, Gerv had the guts to protect Vlagg, and I think the red cloak returned to the wolf means that this guy is a fearless warrior.

Ok... Now I'm mad that Gervic didn't even try, he seemed important to the commander and vice versa, at least important enough

You gotta pick your battles. You can tell from Zaer’s anger and disappointment that he likely wouldn’t listen to excuses. Even if Gervic did try to stop Zaer from walking away, I suspect it would have just ignited Zaer’s anger again.

Makes sense, BUT, if that was Gervic's goal, he has now managed to get rid of the one thing that tied him to the past before Bob
Whether that's a good thing or not is up to us to interpret

And for me, that's really bad

Final goodbye, Zaer.

Unfortunately, yes... And I hope, one day he will understand.

Well, you know what they say, "Don't get close to your idols, they'll disappoint you." Okay, okay, I know that's not 100% fits the situation, but still. Plus, that mutt doesn't even know half of what his commander went through. It seems like everything he "KNOWS" is based on wild, offensive, and purely made-up rumors. That dragon saved Gervic from death, both physical and mental, and their rapprochement was more than expected and predictable, considering all the factors...... WHAT? Don't look at me like that, you know I'm right.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Zaer only knows what happened before he was sent home. During the battle for the castle, he didn't even think Gerv was happy and tried to bring his friend at homeland by force. In this case, he's doing the exact same thing. I understand he was worried about Gervic, but he should have checked the facts first before throwing accusations at his superior. Zaer, even though Vlagg and Gervic love each other, is angry and abusive. But what's the reason? Is it jealousy? Perhaps. Disappointment over the collapse of illusions? Definitely. But Gerv had tried to explain it to his friend both during the battle for his husband's castle and now. But this wolf's stubbornness has ruined everything. He could have overcome his pride and simply accepted his friend's choice.

Well, one day he will get to it, and he probably already hates HIMSELF for the bunch of nasty things he said in a fit of anger.

I'm afraid he won't admit it even to himself.

*shrugs* Where will he go from this? As soon as his head cools down, he realizes what he said and it's too late to apologize, he will think that his apologies are of no use to anyone, he will feel like a pile of sh*t. This always happens to good people.

I doubt very much that Zaer will blame himself after the anger passes. If he doesn't accept his friend's choice now, he won't accept it later.

Why? People move, learn, grow, change. Gaining new experience and knowledge, we allow them to change us little by little. Zaer considers all dragons enemies of his kind, until he saw the love of these two for each other. IT IS UNLIKELY THE ONLY CASE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS WORLD. See where I'm going? Who knows what will happen to him in the future, what he will see, what he will learn, hell, he may even become gay one day. If he does not understand and accept it now, nothing prevents him from starting it 10 years later. Of course, unless the author decides to cast a"Death Mark" on him, then that's it. Buddy, please don't be a BRICK WALL.

I don't think that's how that works😅

i think hes disapointed in himself more than he gervic and vlagg. The man lost everyone who he sees as an ally

I don't think he's lost Vlagg as an ally, as the dragon is a major enemy to him. Gervic, on the other hand, could have been an ally if Zaer had accepted it and just said he was happy for his comrade.

Again, he’s just disappointed . Hes lost everyone (at this point)

Also his time in. Bobs imprisonment is traumatising( gervic has trauma too no lies there)

And yeah. I wish he would have accepted, but honestly this is expected this is way too much for him to accept . He can’t understand why gervic did this (in the moment) , I’m not here to say that Vlagg , gervic or zaer is in the wrong. But it’s not cut and dry .

What's true is true, this novel is full of ambiguities. For example, Bob is understandable because he lost his friends, but that is no excuse for what he did to Gervic and his soldiers. Same with Zudrec: yes, he lost Coby, but it wasn't Gerv's fault, after all, they both didn't know that Gharn had survived after the wolves tried to kill him, and his appearance near Vlagg's castle was unexpected. To summarize, there is no clear division into black and white, and we have a lot to speculate about.

Yeah I been thinking of it , and lemme say bob kinda crossed the line when he indulged in his chimera fetish program . Not even his tragic backstory gives him any sympathy for me he’s just a douche who also has too many screws loose and honestly Vlagg shoudl have punished him more

That's right, and he tells Gerv himself that he should have punished Bob more seriously than just denying him the use of the lab. But what's done is done, and they can't turn back the clock. Although, if it weren't for that, our wolf and dragon wouldn't be a couple. So Bob helped them, even if he didn't mean to do it in the first place. I hope we can discuss more of this author's many novels in the future.

Honestly ..no no ! We do not let him have that.

Bob is a bad person full stop .

Honestly without him gervic and Vlagg proberbly would have worked out just fine without all his freaky genetics .

Who knows, who knows... Maybe you're right, but things will stay the way they are from now on.
To be honest, this novel inspired me a little bit to write my own stories. I'm thinking of writing them in the future, if I don't get burned out.

Come on Gervic, don't just let Zaer drop that BS and then dip.

My head canon is that Vlagg and Gervic get to be ambassadors to Cravenhall. Gervic isn't safe in either Drakenheim or the Wolven kingdom. Zudrec seems to have gone rogue.
