PerrinLost in my own thoughts, I make my way through the rest of the backwoods trail, catching a glimpse of the training facilities on my way to the infirmary.

PerrinI don’t know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn’t this.Our pack had gone all out for the Welcome Ceremony and I was definitely impressed.The ballroom of our packhouse (yes, we still had a ballroom. We didn’t actually have balls in it anymore… parties, I think, is probably more appropriate) was cleaned to the nines. A platform had been raised at one end of the hall for seats of our highest pack members, my father included.Even though I was his son, I wouldn’t be on the platform. I wanted the Alpha Title badly, but I still had to fight for it. Standing on the platform with my father would be in poor taste.Pack members and high pack elders lined the walls of the ballroom. All challengers were to wait

PerrinI didn’t really listen to what my dad was saying, but he stood again and greeted each of the packs by name. I had heard this all before… countless years of hearing about the Sacred Call will do that to you. Thanks, dad.Something caught my attention--and out of the corner of my eye, I see Kira peeling out of her chair, catching Lo’s hand.Lo! I hadn’t even seen her on the platform.She was sitting, legs crossed, in a beautiful, thinly strapped silver cocktail dress. It clung to her body, accentuating her curves. Her sleek, straight silver hair caught the light of the hall chandeliers and brushed just above her tan, chiseled shoulders.But something was off. She didn’t look right. Her face was alarmed and a thi

PerrinI turn quickly. Ethan’s here?! No way!My heart stops as I see Lo, embracing Jack in a massive bear hug.“It’s so good to see you!”Jack’s look of alarm is enough to make my heart hurt. He tries to wriggle out of the hug. It’s clear he doesn’t recognize Lo from when we were kids. And I tell he’s embarrassed about being mistaken for Ethan.Lo steps back, releasing Jack and beaming at his face.“It’s me! Lo!” She smiles expectantly, waiting for the light bulb to go off. Her silver hair is coiffed to fall right above her tan shoulders. A hint of red lipstick shimmers on her lips, crowing that beaming smile.

KiraThere’s a reason I don’t drink.I hiccup, taking a second glass of wine. Cheap drunk, I think they call it? My phone buzzes in my clutch.JACK: Just wrapping up. I think Perrin is heading out anyway. Where are you?I don’t really want to respond to his text. We had plans to meet up after the feast but… I had seen Jack sitting next to Perrin in my brother’s place. It was so hard to watch.Perrin had been all honor and pride leading his procession. And my brother had worked so hard to stand right behind him. He should have been there. It should have been Ethan, not Jack.Why was this so hard to process? I tried not to cry, but tears threatened to

PerrinThe feast left little to be desired for me after talking to Lo. There was dancing and plenty of flirting amongst the wolves attempting to find love, mates--or lets be honest, probably just hookups at this point. But I really wasn’t interested.Had it really only been 36 hours since Ethan?I headed towards the parking lot. My dad’s driver was at the edge of the lot on a smoke break. Charlie was such a great guy. But he failed to understand, as one of the few humans working in the pack house, that our sense of smell was keen enough to realize that he was a chain smoker, despite his repeated denials over the years.He quickly dropped the cigarette and stomped it out, rotating his shoe into the butt of the ashes.“Where to?&rd
