Chapter 0025 Chapter 0025 Alora POV

By the time my doctor's appointment had finished, Beta Zane was already waiting for Than outside. Some kind of security development that required immediate attention. Whatever was happening. Than would have to tell me soon. I will be sworn in as Luna when the timing is right and become just as responsible for the safety of the pack.
