We had made it out alive and shockingly I wasn’t killed on sight. I did earn a black eye for a day or two but I would take that if it meant my head stayed attached to my shoulders.

After we arrived in Montana Ashely forced me to explain everything. I told her how I had concocted a silver acetate that could cut a wolf off from its person and that we had used this to kidnap Annette and the only reason I had gone along was to save her from Marcus.

She hadn’t spoken to me since. We were told we could have a plot of land on the edge of the pack but if I wanted a house I would have to build it. I would have been lost if it weren’t for Annette’s brothers they came by to help me move the wood and soon enough others did too, some of them begrudgingly, and others said thank you to me for helping save

their Luna.

I had never experienced a pack like this, they helped even when they didn’t want to because I was now a part of them. Eventually, our house was built in the water for a week. It was different from the splendor that the Bane Crescent pack

had coveted wood houses and trees all around.

Miraculously I was even permitted to run tests on Annette, Grayson wanted me to find a way to reverse the silver acetate

but that was risky I told him the best thing to do was to let it leave her system I didn’t know what it would react with.

Still daily I saw her and saw how her health was. Slowly but surely she was regaining her strength leaving the house

after a week of holing up inside. Her people flocked to her ever thankful she’d been returned to them and I saw her as
