Capítulo 39: chapter 39

"Silence." Landon commanded the clan.

Kelly stood to his right, and then Isla next to him. Kelly glanced down at Isla and saw her unable to look at the pack.

She was staring down at where her fingers twisted together nervously. He couldn't blame her... the reception of the pack hadn't been as positive as he'd been hoping or expecting.

Landon's order only quieted the crowd for a moment before they erupted into protests again.

"She is a rogue! She's dangerous!" one man shouted.

Landon remained quiet, as did Kelly, although he wanted to shout.

"Look at her! She's terrified! Does she look dangerous to you?"

But he didn't, following his father's example.

They stood in the amphitheater, one of the few places in the village large enough to accommodate the entire clan at once.

All one hundred members were gathered, staring at Landon and Kelly from the rows of benches lining the circular walls of the amphitheater.
