Ashleigh and Axel had spent the last few days before she left for Summer in heated arguments. It seemed like every little thing they could argue about, they would.
They didn’t agree on Caleb, and they definitely didn’t agree on Alice.
After Ashleigh had heard that the ceremony in the South had been pushed back a night, she knew something was wrong. When her father and brother returned, they told her about the ‘gift’.
Axel had some minor issues, some fever, and a severe headache. But nothing life threatening.
Bell ran tests on the candy but could not identify what was in it. There was something but nothing she had ever seen before. Both she and Ashleigh suggested asking Caleb to look into it, but Axel refused.
He insisted that whatever it was, it wasn’t lethal. And that there was no reason for another pack to investigate a personal issue for him.
