We got into Sampson's car and drove back to the pack... or what was left of the pack. They weren't joking; the entire pack was in ruins. The only thing left was the packhouse, which was surprisingly untouched. I spotted Gavin's gamma patrolling the area, and Greggor jumped out to join them. There were a couple of Sampson's gammas as well, and I feared that was all that was left.

Because there was no pack, the planes that Taylor sent to us didn't bother using the launch pad at the air station. They landed directly in the center of the pack grounds, waiting for us to board.

We pulled into the packhouse and got out. Gavin was already on the phone with Taylor as we entered the packhouse. There was a group of packmates, most I recognized from my couple of weeks here.

Lucy went to join them, despite her own turmoil; she was trying hard to keep them calm and give them reassuring words. I admired her for that; she was a great Luna, and Sampson was lucky to have her by his side.
