Chapter 98 A Fresh Start

• BRIANA
• Sitting quietly in the hospital room, I swing my legs lightly over the side of the bed while waiting for Hannah to return. She had just finished running the follow-up tests we did last week before being called away to help a young pup who’d fallen from a training tree and broken her wrist. Typical pack life—there was always something happening.
• Last night’s initiation ceremony had gone smoother than anyone expected. The celebration afterward was even better. Everyone drank moonshine, laughed, and danced beneath the stars until dawn painted the sky. For the first time in a long time, there were no divisions, no tension—just one pack. One family. No outsiders.
