After leaving Alpha Jonas’s pack, Hana and I get the guards to agree to us riding together. It’s good to see her and catch up. We talk about our packs, our pregnancies, Isabella, Katerina, Layan and finally, the battle this weekend.

“What do you think is going to happen when they get to Alpha Emanuel’s pack?” Hana asks.

“I don’t know. But Mason said they hadn’t seen the she- wolves, so I’m guessing they are locked away somewhere.” “Where do you think we should put them? We’ve already got Celeste, you have Brynn, Zaire has his she-wolf, I need to get her name, Davis has Layan, and now these.”

“I think we should keep them separated into the different packs for now. Their fear might play off of each other if they are together. But we can set up a support group for them. Maybe mom or Isabella or even Gia might want to run it. Let’s see how many we have and what shape they are in. That might determine the best pack for them to stay in.” I tell her.

We pull up to Alpha Davis’s pack, noting the extra patrols and guards already in place. We say hello and head to the packhouse.

“I hope Layan’s doing better. I felt like last week she was, but I know sometimes it’s two steps forward and one step back.” Hana says.

“I hope so too. She seemed okay with Elijah and Lewis, even if it was only for a few minutes. Maybe she’ll have started relaxing around her pack. I hope so.”
