Chapter 43: The Journey Home
The pack was starting to leave in small groups, and by the time Garrett was ready to go, there was a heavy choice to be made. Levi would be the last to leave, of course, but there was the matter of the pups. They would likely be delayed a while if Levi left with them, because he would have to often stop completely to hunt and rest, since there would be no one to share the load. If the pups left with Garrett’s group, though, it was likely they would arrive just ahead of Levi, and thus Levi wouldn’t lag too far behind.
The pups wanted to see their friends as soon as possible, but Levi had become used to having them with him at all times.
“Please, Uncle?” Dakota pressed her little hands together, as though praying. “Please? I will be very, very good! And I will behave and listen to the Beta. Promise!”
“I want to see Seth,” Utah agreed. “Please can we go ahead?”
Levi frowned in contemplation.
