"What if Lily isn't dead?"

But I swallowed the question back. I was still investigating the mysterious young wolf pup in the Northern Packs who bore a striking resemblance to Lily.

She shook her head stubbornly. "I want to help."

After breakfast, I reluctantly prepared to leave for Moonstone Pack business. Olivia mentioned her plans to visit Shadow Creek Mall.
