Chapter 28: Not the Easiest Life

Galen had taken the other representatives on a tour of the borders. Ashleigh had asked to join them, but Saul reminded her that her focus was on learning from Alpha Caleb during their time in Summer.

She returned to the training grounds unsure of how Caleb would react to her presence today. His coldness at the treehouse, while understandable, had affected her in a way that she couldn’t shake.

Sleep had been a struggle the night before. Between memories of the full moon leaking into her thoughts, or the expression on his face as he closed the hatch. She wanted nothing more than to avoid him.

But her duty came before her personal misgivings.

Arriving at the training grounds, she watched in pleasant fascination as the Summer wolves practiced their skills. She took note that unlike her pack, they seemed focused on the team exercises rather than individual skills.
