Summer’s gates were open.
By now, the story of what had happened to Alpha Caleb had spread far and wide. Wolves from all over the territories had come to honor him. Even some from outside the territories.
For several days before the vigil was scheduled to be held, leaders from every pack arrived. Burning Ember and Broken Crag were two of the first to arrive. Both Sofia and Landon wished to offer their help in any way they could.
Winter arrived the day before the vigil. Corrine immediately joined in the final preparations, attempting to send Fiona away to rest.
Fiona insisted that she would handle everything until the final moments. It was clear to anyone that she was worn out and had likely slept only a few hours in the two weeks leading up to the vigil.
Fiona was placing the last decorations in one of the halls when Corrine saw her slip and almost fall. She rushed to her side. But Fiona pushed her away, insisting that she was okay.
