CHAPTER 42: Show and tell...

Randol

I'm sitting out on the porch, looking in the direction that Ty and Devan went just a minute ago. We have about thirty minutes before Clark arrives, so they want to do a quick perimeter check before heading to the gate. That's what they say anyway. I know better. They are trying to calm their wolves with a run before they have to face this monster. I know, because I want to do the same, but I want to be here for Celeste more, so it will have to wait. Soon I get my chance to do just that. Celeste walks out on the porch, coffee in hand.

"Thought I might find you out here. Coffee?"

"Thanks." I take the mug from her hands as she sits next to me. I feel calmer already just having her near me. "So are you ready?"

"I'm ready. Everything is going to start moving fast from here though."

"I'm actually glad for that."

"Why?"
