Avery’s POV The next day I dressed carefully and left the pack house before the sun rose once more. A low fog hung over the village, making the air damp and heavy. I breathed deeply and took off at a jog, letting the movement and my steady pace warm my muscles and waken my mind. I had put my new procedures in place as Luna, and now it was just a matter of waiting to see what results they produced. If I was doing my job properly, nothing would noticeably change, but everything would be strengthened so that it was less vulnerable to external meddling. If Dierdra tried to disrupt things again, the results would be immediate and obvious. I hoped that involving more pack members would also help if I needed to prove to Gideon that her actions had malicious intent. More eyes on the problem
