Is he like everyone’s papa?” She had told him that fun things would come after, but he still didn’t understand why she listened to him. Why were all the wolves supposed to listen to him? What was a leader anyway? He frowned. It was the closest thing he could figure at his current age. He wanted to know. He wanted to understand. And once he understood, he wanted her to show him the cool water.
