We left the police station behind, but the situation had settled heavily upon us. It was already so dark by the time we were out, making me feel a little more guilty about leaving my boy home – hungry.
The usual bustle of pack life unfolded around us but was limited, unlike the daylight. It was a few days to the full moon, and everyone was outside more as from today. It was said that playing under the moonlight a few nights before the full moon would allow one the full glory of the Moon Goddess's blessings during the full moon.
A myth I had no belief in.
"These children should be in bed," I commented as we passed by a group of children chasing each other through the streets under the moonlight.
Their playful shriek was a contrast to the worry I harbored in my heart for them.
Lupe, who was clung to my arm shrugged. "You know why everyone's out, Isleen. I think we should go get Cullen and Liam too. We all need to be part of this ritual." She said.
