章 503: The Melding of the Minds - Part 1

LERRIN

In the end it was easier than Lerrin would have expected to bring the Lupine together. Once the decision had been made and the majority of the pack mind had agreed that it was the only way forward, the others were pulled into the current of their families and packs. Wolves on both sides of the clearing—for there were some that had stayed with Reth from the beginning—made their way to the center. 

It wasn't until they'd gathered as a tribe—from both sides of this conflict—that the emotion of the moment hit Lerrin. Suhle was in this crowd somewhere. And if things hadn't gone wrong he would have found her, called her to the front so that she would be part of his circle. For the melding required wolves to be touching each other, to align their bodies and hearts with their minds.
