Alpha Nocurne's Contracted Mate

The journey out to the last spot that had been scouted by the Enclave’s Specialist handlers and their direwolves had been uncomfortable to say the least.

The standard black armored transport with tinted windows was not air conditioned, and the heat in the back was stifling. The only breeze came from the window in the front passenger seat, where Lord Brarthroroz was seated next to an obviously tense driver.
