Do you swear to protect the weak, defend justice, and uphold the dignity of the warrior?" "I do," Wayne replied in a steady voice. Wayne turned his face upwards with his eyes closed.

Every child who showed promise was presented to the pack at age thirteen, where they were expected to demonstrate their ability to shift. It was a rite of passage, a public declaration of their wolf's strength and their family's status. I had never participated in any such ceremony because I had never shifted at all. Margaret hesitated, clearly not briefed on this particular detail. "Well, of course she did. Every young wolf does."
