Scared of being caught, I drop the Breeder on the floor and lean onto the shelf. Using as deep a voice as I can produce, I reply, “Uh, browsing for a book.” “What was that sound?” When the Breeder hit the floor, it was a little louder than I intended. “Uhm… encyclopedia,” I say. Quickly, I grab a
*Shelby* It’s been about an hour, but I want to give Rose plenty of time to rest. I can’t even imagine what it’s like carrying so many pups all at once. Well, I can’t even imagine what it’s like carrying one pup yet, so four… that’s just incredible. I’m starting to get hungry, so I mind-link Adam
“Nice deflection,” I say, and we both laugh a little. “She’s sleeping. She looked so tired that she barely lasted till I was out of the room before she drifted off. It must be so tiring having four pups at once.” “No doubt,” he says. “When we’re ready, let’s try for just one at a time.” “No promis

‘Let’s try that way for a bit,’ I say. ‘Do you know much about this forest?’ I can see him shaking his head. ‘I know the way I came from my pack lands, and I know where we’re fighting Kane, but I’ve never been in this direction.’ ‘Me neither,’ I say. ‘But we’ll check it out.’ He nods and I walk c
*Barbara*I beat the wolves carrying the Breeder over the castle wall and through the forest to Kane’s line of defense by at least twenty minutes. Considering my malnourished state, I thought it was pretty good. Granted, I could’ve run faster if I’d had some real food in the last few days, other tha
