“ I can’t believe I’m back here ,” I murmured as we drove through the bridge that bordered the human world and Blue Ridge pack .

“ Everything looks the same.

It was almost noon and all I wanted to do was to go home to my family before any other thing .

“ Transfer of power ? Today ? The Council is already on their way ? L … I thought this could wait .

until tomorrow at least .

I had a stressful journey and would love to rest .

“ I’m sorry , Lyla but that is not possible .

The Council believes that since you’re Alpha Logan’s heir , you must formally transfer the leadership of the pack to the Tanner family .
