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

Warsan Shire

Aria had always thought the most beautiful place in the world was Liam’s pack and home. However, from the moment

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

somehow managed to fall asleep on Sebastian’s shoulder, a car and a driver had been waiting for them at the airport.

The driver had stared at her curiously, but he didn’t ask who she was – and a single look from Sebastian, and the driver

Washington was refreshing

For once, she didn’t have the constant reminder of the sun beating down on her. Here, it was tucked behind a heavy layer

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 –
