He was leaving, Henry was leaving ... And Layla almost couldn't believe it. She had known that the day was coming, of course.
Henry was an Alpha, and his father was the head Alpha of their pack. Eventually, Henry would have to rise to that position, too. And even if he wasn't needed as the heir to Wolfsbane right now, he was needed just as Henry, too.

But now here that day was. The morning after the Festival of the Full Moon, and Henry and the few wolves that had remained with him, were finally gearing up to leave. Layla had said her goodbyes last night already, almost as soon as Henry told her that he was leaving.
