PENNY POV
*two days later*
The first thing I noticed about Kyan's pack was how f*****g quiet it was.
There were at least two hundred wolves gathered in the courtyard outside the packhouse, and I could barely hear anyone breathing. Men, women, a few teenagers standing beside their parents. Nobody was talking, nobody was moving, and every single pair of eyes followed us as we stepped out of the vehicles.
I didn't like it.
I'd grown up in Bloodclaw, where people argued in the corridors, children ran around screaming, and someone was always threatening to murder someone else over something stupid. Usually my brothers. Occasionally Perse.
This place looked like someone had ordered the entire pack to stand still and wait for permission to even breathe.
