41: Lila

Things had been calm for a while, and I had been spending a lot of time training with Donte. After numerous conversations with Luke and Jake and the continued monitoring activity around Hudson and Gemma, we decided it was time to start traveling. The number of wolves that appear to be moving towards Gemma and Hudson is very concerning, and if we are going to stand a chance when they undoubtedly attack us, we need to grow and have time to train new pack numbers. We also don't want to see wolves find their way to Gemma and Hudson because they simply need a place to be safe and feel like they belong.

I still hope that maybe Hudson isn't the monster everyone thinks he is and that maybe, just maybe, if I had the opportunity to speak to him, really speak to him, he would be able to see the lies Gemma has told him about me, and I wouldn't have to lose the brother I just learned about. I know that's far-fetched, though. I can't help but hold onto the tiny little piece of hope, though.
