Chapter 6 A Meeting With The Wolf

• “I may never find the right words to show how grateful I truly am for everything you've done,” I say, placing my hand gently over hers. “But know this — I am. Thank you for saving my life, Mireya. For caring for me when I was lost to the world.”
• I turn to the doorway, where Arin stands trying — and failing — to be brave.“Arin… you are the sweetest boy I have ever met. I always wished I had a little brother. And now I do.”
• He bursts forward and throws his arms around me, clinging tight. “Then don’t leave us! Please don’t go.”Tears spill down his cheeks — warm, innocent grief, and it tugs something deep in me.
