CHAPTER 46

• Layton grinned out at the crowd of rogues that gathered into the hall. A crowd of at most twenty, most of which were men and a few women and just five children who could barely walk on their own.
• "Welcome, we're more than happy to take you under our wing." He announced as he gazed down at the crowd and that nodded slowly. "We will commence the rest of the instructions tomorrow as you must be tired. Please, let my daughter guide you to the houses we selected for you and then as the moon rises high above the grounds, we shall feast as a welcoming ceremony for you. You shall enjoy a feast of various meaty delicacies, vegetables, fruits and all the possible drinks you can find in the pack. In this pack we are not only individuals, but also family. Feel free, please." He laughed out as Hope frowned at him for making such an oddly cheerful speech.
• "Follow me." Hope raised her hand and smiled as she got off the platform and walked ahead and next to Harley who was first to walk out as well. "Did you see the proud look on dad's face?" Hope whispered into Harley's ear as they began to walk towards the houses. Harley smiled down at Hope.
