Chapter 23 Twenty-three

• After three hours of driving, we finally arrive at Crescent Blood Pack territory. The packhouse comes into view, a sprawling stone structure that's smaller than Anton's mansion but more welcoming, with warm light spilling from every window.
• We climb out of the SUV, stretching stiff muscles, and I'm immediately greeted by their Alpha. He's younger than I expected, maybe early thirties, with kind eyes and an easy smile.
• "Welcome," he says, approaching our group with an outstretched hand toward Raymond. "You must be the trackers from Cedar Grove Pack. I'm Alpha Mark."
