Mason came and got me for dinner. We walked in together and everyone stopped for a moment, looking at us, before going back to eating and talking. We grab our food and head over to where Elijah, Joe and Stella are already seated.

She nods her head, looking around. “Why are they staring at me?” She asks, watching my pack members thoughtfully.

“Melinda!” Brynn scolds.

“It’s okay.” I say, looking up at Brynn. “Most of them have never seen a she-wolf pup before. They are excited to have you in our pack. And they want to get to know you.”
