She grinned at the pups enthusiasm to meet everybody well, mostly everybody. She didn’t say anything about wanting to go to the Risen Empire, thank goodness. Shaye was reluctant to head back there any time soon. “Valhalla is quite far away, but we definitely can at some point” she agreed, it would be good for the future diplomat to meet the alpha’s of the surrounding packs.

In Rhyme’s case, things happened that drove them apart.” she said, “But mostly, that’s his story to tell, I only tell you so you're prepared for what to expect from that pack” she explained. Likely Theory would connect the dotes to the day Rhyme had told all his children they couldn’t have the Imperiali’s last name.
