A New Name

"You don't look surprised. I'm not sure if I should be happy or wary about that. But you most certainly have Laura's cool temperance. My daughter was around at the ball scheduled for the celebration of the union between the community and the wolf packs. She mentioned that you had challenged the temperance of the king…whatever that means. I hadn't been available-hadn't seen the need for it."

Ohoo! Another person that didn't like the pack.

I still maintained the cool demeanor though. It was the common denominator in Laura, Peter and Diana's advice- don't be easily triggered. And then I relaxed further into the chair, holding back the smile that threatened to break on my lips when the principal piqued an eyebrow.

He was a middle aged man, the same age as Peter, I think. Blonde hair, stylishly kept as if he was still looking for a bride, and his scent was like the whistle pine. Not bad.
