"Did we... did we win?" Ash sat up and looked over the railing. The courtyard was bathed in golden sunlight. The hybrid wolves were standing up, looking at their hands and their fur with wonder.

"Kid under the oak. That's got to be Ollie Blackwood." Jake squinted through the window, trying to get a better look at the kid I was pointing at as he glanced at me and asked. "You sure?
