บท 33: Chapter 33: Home

{Flashback}

Elizabeth packed the last of the things Phillip would need for the journey. She hoped he wouldn’t need much more than this. He said his pack was a two day walk from here, that he would need another two days to sort everything out back home, and then he would send someone from there.

He told her it would probably be one week before she heard anything.

He had told her to go west and wait at the meeting spot there. He would send wolves to meet her there and bring her back to his pack. Everything made sense to her; she understood it absolutely.

No wolf could just go to another’s pack and be expected to be let past the guards. At best, the wolves on guard would give the intruder a swift death; at worst, they played cat and mouse for a while before killing them.

No, Elizabeth understood entirely why she had to wait for an escort to come for her.
