FionaDing. Ding. Ding. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ding.I tug on my hair, nearly screaming as my phone continues to alert me to new messages. It dings and dings and dings until I finally snatch it up from the little table, peek at the screen, and then shut it off when I don’t see Ethan’s name.It seems l

The sun sinks closer to the horizon, and an unfamiliar howl sounds somewhere behind me. The great water is nowhere near our land, I realize as I look at it. There’s a good two-hundred miles between Silverclaw Pack lands and the ocean, but I can’t find it in myself to care that I’m on unfamiliar land
