It was a bit after nine when I pulled the car to a stop outside the Azure River Pack Alpha House. It was the house that my cousin Riley had been raised in and lived in still. Like me, he took charge of his pack seven years ago, we both lost our fathers in the same battle. He was lucky enough to still have the former Luna, his mother, there to help him transition into the role. My Aunt was stronger than my mother, that, or my mother just loved my father more and his loss was harder on her.
I had no sooner shut off the engine than Riley came running out of the house.
"Reece!" He yelled, giving me a bear hug like he's always done since we were kids. He's two years older than me, but you'd never know it based on the way he acts.
