Chapter 67 Kai

• The drive to Lunar River Pack was far from ideal. Sitting with Landon was not usually a way I would choose to spend my free time, I had to admit, but it was what I had decided to do, in order to find out what secrets he had been hiding.

Despite the usual sibling fallout we may have shared over the years, I hated the thought of my younger sister feeling like that. I wanted to protect her. Stop her pain. But, in this instant, I didn't know if that was possible...
