Chapter 94 The Road Home

• NATTY
• Climbing onto the bus with David, I glance around and spot Edison and Ash already sitting near the front seats. Their expressions are alert, curious, and a bit restless. Maya, the eldest of the surviving Moonveil wolves, had thankfully picked up when I called using Linda’s office phone. The sound of her voice brought back a wave of nostalgia and grief all at once. She was shocked to hear from me—news about Laura and Marcus had already reached them—and she feared I’d been killed by the tyrant and his twisted mate.
• Her disbelief only grew when I told her I was now in Silver Paw, and that Linda Bruce was the Alpha. At first, she thought I was joking. I could almost hear her shaking her head through the phone, refusing to believe the same Linda who once lived under Marcus’ cruelty in Moonveil had become a leader strong enough to run her own pack. I told her everything—how Linda had left because of Marcus’ treatment of Briana—and that seemed to finally make her pause. When she heard Briana’s name, the doubt in her tone softened. Eventually, she agreed to listen.
