Chapter 47: The Final Journey

In the morning, they set out again as humans. She’d never seen Levi so excited before, and his mood was infectious. Everywhere they went, he had something to point out to her. What plants were edible, which were used for medicinal purposes, which were poisonous. He pointed out animals and talked about what they were, what they did, and what the pack used them for. He knew the birds and what their calls meant, and he even delighted her by mimicking a few with perfect accuracy.

All around them, as they walked, Amanda found a veritable school of a world she had never belonged to before, and she delighted in it.
