"Where are we going though?" I asked with a light chuckle as Kaelos grabbed my hand and led me out of the garden.
I glanced back at Caroline who gave me a knowing wink before she turned around and walked over to Althea. The latter stood, watching from a distance with an oddly solemn expression.
My eyebrows furrowed when I saw that look on her but then Kaelos tugged at my hand gently, bringing my attention back to him.
He had a warm smile curling up his lips as he spoke. "Like I said, it's a surprise."
When we got to the compound gates, the guards bowed their heads as we walked past. A few gave judgmental glances as usual but none dared to even whisper anything about me.
After Kaelos' statement to the world, the Blood Oak pack and indeed all the packs of North America were... Chill.
Mostly.
There were a few cases of riots or public unrest among wolves here and there but Kaelos was quick to end them with help of the pack soldiers and Alphas in those packs.
