Chapter 101: To believe

"That wolf is dead!" She snapped, putting her hands on her hips. "Do you want to follow after it?" She demanded, her eyes sparkling with impatience. "If you want to keep your head, you must get back to work. Kade is about to become our Alpha. Tomorrow will usher in a new dawn for Silver Moon pack. We must all do our work except you want to offend the incumbent Alpha and his Luna," she warned me. I nodded in understanding but I did not understand. Not fully. Why could I not mourn my friend who I just lost because I had to plan a party for someone I hated!?

"If you abandon your duties, you will suffer more and I am sure that wolf would not like that." Maria patted my shoulder. "Keep her in your heart and mourn her later. Right now, you must attend to your duties."
