Chapter 39 Loyalty Test

• Ava's POV
• Though the evening was still, I couldn't get rid of the impression that something was developing—something buried in the quiet. The pack had discovered an unusual calm in the days following our encounter with the remnants of the Raven, but I felt uncomfortable, as though waiting for the other shoe to fall.
• Jackson had sensed it too, but none of us had discussed it very much. An underlying tension persisted even as we were trying to soothe the pack and lead them through this phase of rebuilding.
