Chapter Nine –

Caleb’s Point of View

Curiosity was getting the better of me, I needed to know who that wolf girl was that I seen this morning. I simply could not get her off my mind. Theo tried to distract me by going over next weeks training schedule, but my heart and mind were not in it. Finally, he gave up and asked me if I wanted to walk around this pack’s territory. I readily agreed, which lead him to teasing me about possibly running into a certain girl. «

Simply being outside relaxed my muscles and put a smile on my face. Looking around I noticed that the Silver Moon pack had done a great job in the way they had structured their buildings. The Manor House was center but towards the back giving the inhabitants a great view of the woods. Their meeting hall was off to the left, with an array of small shops surrounding it. The pack members houses were spread along the north side of the town, and beyond those were the guard shacks. Being at the base of the blue mountains gave them a strategic advantage if rogues were to attack because they could be spotted easily. 2

“This is a nice little village for a pack.” Theo was trying to draw me out to speaking. He could tell that I was surveying my surroundings. I enjoyed that my Beta knew me so well.

“Yes, they have done a great job at using their location to their advantage and building accordingly.” I quickly noticed that there was some commotion near the meeting hall and started in that direction, Theo following quickly beside me.

When I arrived at the meeting hall, I found some of my warriors and some of the Silver Moon pack warriors had been wrestling around. It took little observation to realize that during one of the playful tussles, someone had taken it seriously and now warriors on both sides were growling ready to rip each other to shreds. Werewolves are naturally prideful, and this can quickly lead to grave misunderstandings.
