| pulled into the driveway and watched Ternen and Alannah park. Rick took off to grab his wife and daughter and
said he would be here in five minutes. | got out as my mom walked out and we waited in the drive while the two
got out of the
car.
| snapped a barrier around us and waited for the pair to join us next to my car before | asked my mom. "How did
you know |
needed an excuse to get them to cover?"
My-mom chuckled. "Nix is smarter than you give her credit for. She cto tellwhen you all were at lunch,
but | waited a bit when | knew | could maximize the effect." | turned to her. But before | could say anything, she
turned to Alannah and Ternen. “Hi. I'm Ainsley, Amy's mom. You must be Alannah and Ternen."
They nodded. "We are." Alannah bowed, but my mom stopped her.

"Sweet girl. | haven't been a luna for years now, and even when | was, absolutely no one had to bow to me."
Alannah straightened and looked between my mom and me. "Our luna demands
it."
My mom scoffed. "That's because she is an insecure, chosen replacement. And the only reason she is luna is
because she got pregnant with Brandon and ran. She cback once Brandon was a pup and Vince couldn't lie
to his father any longer."
We all dropped our mouths open. "Seriously?" | looked at my mom.
She nodded. "Vince was looking for an alpha female to marry, but then our beloved luna, who was actually a low
ranked gamma, showed up with a pup in her arms. The alpha made them mate." My mom looked at her nails.
"He's only kept her around because
she doesn't care about the cheating or his plotting
"Is there a reason we are waiting out here?" Ternen looked around, slightly confused.
My mom smiled. "I'm waiting for Rick and his family. And Amy here has made it impossible for anyone to
overhear us out here.
But inside unless we are in her room." My mom turned to me. "Are you planning on bringing them to the cabin?"
His gaze was
sharp.
"Yeah." | nodded. "I know we won't have the space for everyone. But we have the bathrooms to support
everyone, thankfully."
"Plus, camping would be fun for a young girl who has never been allowed to do anything." She finished.
"Hopefully. And I'm hoping her and my girl get along " | smiled as | heard another car pull up. "We will have to
make lists of
everything we need." My mom nodded.
"We will also need extra supplies..." My mom looked at me.
| bit my lip. This would be too much to slip through my closet. Then | remembered the tunnel to dad's pack
house. "I have an idea." But | turned to see Rick, his mate, and his daughter coming up the driveway. "Hey Rick."
| waved and walked down. "This must be Shelly," | held out my hand, and she smiled, but | could see the shadow
in her eyes.
"That's me." She shook my hand and then turned to her daughter. "This is Abby." | looked down at the little girl

hair. She had dark circled under her eyes and a missing tooth right up front.
| dropped down to her level and stuck out a hand. "Hi Abby, I'm Amy." She smiled and shook my hand.
"Hi" She looked atwith tired but curious eyes. "You're beautiful."
"So are you." | grinned, but she looked town, sad. "What's wrong darling?"
"I'm not beautiful. I'm sick." She looked back up. "Sick people can't be beautiful."
"Who said that?" | tilted my head at her. "I think that sof the most beautiful people are sick. Do you want to
know why?"
She looked at her mom. Shelly nodded and then turned back to me. "Why?" She dropped her head to stare at the
ground before | could answer.
"I think sof the most beautiful people in the world are warriors." | reached out and lifted her face. “Because
being sick, like you, is a battle. Getting out of bed can be a struggle, right?" She nodded. "But you fight to do it
every day. You get up, get dressed, and go about you day no matter how bad you feel. That is strength, true
strength, and | think that makes you beautiful. Never let anyone make you feel bad about being sick. You can't
help it, and they don't understand how something as simple as getting up can take your breath away."
"Do you really mean that?" She looked atwith wide, bright green eyes.
"Absolutely." | smiled at her, and she smiled back. | stood up and realized that Rick and Shelly both had tears in
their eyes. "Well, now." My mom sniffled. "Whose ready for dinner?"
