“At the end of the day, it isn’t where I came from. Maybe home is somewhere I’m going and never have been.”

she stepped into Sebastian’s pack, she realized just how wrong she’d been

Liam’s pack was a bleak comparison to the vibrant beauty of Sebastian’s home. After a short plane ride, where she’d

of clouds and thick trees. And as they drove, civilization became scarcer, the roads got narrower, and the trees got larger

Eventually, the driver turned onto a dirt road cloaked by large pine trees, and Aria caught sight of what she assumed to

be a few pack members on patrol. They were in the tree line, in their wolf forms, and one of them nodded at their car as

they passed through

They drove further in, the gravel of the road crunching under the tires of their SUV, until the trees cleared and –
