Sophie was very happy when they stopped in front of the tavern and Nicholas helped her get off his horse. She had not visited a tavern in a long time and mingled with common people from human society. She realized her life after she was involved with the lycans was very different from what she was used to.
She actually missed living among regular humans and become part of their society again. She didn't speak the Lycan language, what she understood was only what people told her. Leland and her children were her translators within the pack. Without them, she was clueless when the pack members communicated within themselves.
She didn't understand their heart and their custom, and even though she knew their tradition and their way of life, she was still an outsider to them until the very end. Her mate and children were her only connection to the lycan society.
