Chapter 35

Alora’s POV

The Alpha had us all in the same arrangement as before, we would follow him, Serenity and I in her Jeep, Darien, Kian and Galan brining up the rear in his car. The ride to the Pack House would take about an hour from here. Fortunately I’ve always paid for my own cell phone, and plan. My parents never would have gotten me one, and after what happened, had they, they would have had it disconnected immediately. 9

So when Serenity asked for me to play my music list I was able to connect my phone to her stereo and open the app. The first song that plays when I hit shuffle is Ride of the Valkyries by Brothers of Metal. We listened to that a bit turned up, then she turned it down a bit. “You did

what you did to protect us didn’t you?” she asks me. I stay silent for a bit, reluctant to admit it to her, but I wouldn’t ignore her question.

“I’ve never had so much to lose, an now that I have it, I will protect it with every bit of power and strength that I have.” I say to her, the next song came on, it was Jungle Juice by Ganja White Night & Liquid Stranger, she peaks at me.

“I’m glad to be counted as something important to you.” she says with a blush. I let out a small laugh “I’m glad your someone I can call friend.” I tell her.

“So how do you think the boys are doing?” she asks me. I look back behind us at the boys.

They all seem to be talking, they were smiling, and each looked like they were laughing here and their in their

conversation. “They look like they’re having fun, their male bonding time seems to be a success.” I say with laughter in my voice. D

Serenity giggles. It’s such a nice day for me, a medium gray overcast, a warm wind smelling of rain, and the sun still shining through despite the clouds, the temperate a comfortable eighty seven degrees. The rain scented wind carried the sent of wet earth and flowers. Everything around us was deep greens, dark browns, and flowers of all colors all along the long road to Moonstar Territory and the Current Pack House, andother houses.
