And you're going to take it and you're going to be so incredible that Joe Pritchett is going to spend the rest of his life watching you from a distance and understanding exactly what he threw away."

Growing restless, he was about to go to the pack elders for answers. The Chief Elder stepped forward. His face was grave. "Alpha Ryder, there's something you need to know." "What is it? Where's Lyra?
