Chapter 255

• I open my mouth to answer, but the sudden blink, blink, and then blinding brightness of instant illumination makes me flinch instead as electricity is restored and all lamps come on.

• “What?” I never even thought of the fact that Colton might want us to come back here, but it’s the only solution if Juan is out of the picture. The fractured pack need to be brought back together and the homestead just isn’t big enough for all of us. It hits me so suddenly with a simple word from him, that this is where our future lies. I’m not sure how I feel about coming back here after everything that’s happened.
