Night falls, leaving the sleepy town of Northwood finally quiet.
Looking up into the dark sky above, the stars twinkle slightly, holding my attention until a silent presence comes up from behind me. Normally, I'd chastise him for it, a rude behavior that he's never grown out of from his days as a pup.
But I'm in a good mood today.
"Has she settled?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.
"For the most part." Wren lowers himself down onto the grass at my feet, rolling his large body back until he's supported on his hands. "Rose said she's pretty quiet."
"Mm, I imagine so."
Northwood's lights flicker through the thick forest surrounding the motel's property. As the halfway point between Redwood and Soleus, this town gives my pack the chance to recover before our journey home.
