Bab 731: Sooner or Later

In the first year after the disappearance of their Alpha, the wolves of Summer had mourned his loss while recovering from their own tragedies of war. The concern of finding his replacement was not yet present in any of their minds.

While Ashleigh had not actually acted in the role, she had been approved of by the pack. After months of tireless fighting for the right to be their Luna and the way she had protected them in their escape from the fae, she had earned their loyalty and respect.

They understood her need to grieve, her desire not to give up on Caleb, and to bring him home. In fact, for many of them, it solidified her place in their hearts.

The vigil had been necessary.

It was the only way for many to express their pain and be able to focus on rebuilding what was left of Summer. But there were still those among the pack who believed very strongly that Caleb was still out there and that he would return one day.
