#Chapter 5 – The Trouble

Tiffany smiles, gazing across at Abby, who seems frozen in her chair behind the counter. I look

about what Tiffany, and I are to each other.

I only came to the capital for the Alpha party, and without a Luna, I decided I should invite my cousin

Tiffany to come along. She recently returned from eight years of studying abroad, and I figured it would

be a good way for us to catch up.

I don’t get a lot of free time, and I couldn’t exactly show up at the party without a suitable female

companion. It seemed like a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Although, I’m beginning to regret letting her blackmail me into this particular outing. After eight years

apart, I forgot how strong-willed my cousin can be. When Tiffany wants something, she tends to get it. I

having it.

engagements. The time would have been better spent working for the pack.
