Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

he cabin was deserted when we got back. The rest of our pack was out celebrating and it was well

deserved. I was looking forward to calling my parents, but I could also feel how nervous Finlay was.

pointed out.

to do this and once it’s done, you will feel silly that you were so worried.” I took out my phone and

started a FaceTime call. I positioned the camera so only I was visible. When my mom answered, I

saw she was sitting in my dad’s lap. I smiled at our similar situation.
