CHAPTER 136

  On stepping into the confines of the pack house, Marisol swiftly grabs Lily's hand, a surprised squeak leaving the latter's lips as she's promptly dragged into her room, where she is settled on the bed, after which Marisol goes to shut the door, hearing it lock with a click.

  "What's going on?" Lily asked, wide-eyed.

  Marisol, looking to catch her breath after the display that leaves Lily perplexed, rushes out a question, one from the multitude of the questions she currently has, "Who were they?"

  Lily has a wry smile on her lips as she responds. "My closest friends." There's a beat of silence, and on noting that wasn't enough for Marisol, she adds, "We've known each other since we were pups, and I'm sure we all share a mutual trust and understanding."

  Marisol's curiosity remains unstated, so she presses on, "Why are they so invested in everything happening within the pack?"
