I was pacing the room as I waited for some kind of news. It was already passed midnight and we hadn’t heard from anyone what was going on.

“Ayla, sit down, please,” Mina said. “I’m sure they’ll be back soon.”

“To say what?” I asked. “How I’m causing even more trouble for everyone?”

I’ll have more time later when all of this is over. Second, I’m going to be working closer with Luna Grace. Mäke more of an effort to get out and let people see me in the Luna role.”

“I think that would be very beneficial,” Alpha Torin agreed with me.
