So much has changed PACK MEETNIG

Theory held her breath at Poem's side. The pack meeting suddenly made everything seem so real. It wasn't just a pleasant (if nerve wracking) private conversation between her and Shaye. Now she really was heir. Seeing all the puppies gathered gave her mixed emotions. On the one hand, it was wonderful to see Abaven blooming again... on the other hand, at what cost? Vail and Solor's faces were missing from the crowd. Where was Eulogy? Concerned, Theory searched for her in the crowd.

The meeting was a very real reminder of her upcoming responsibilities. Abaven was so large - some of these wolves she didn't have a name for. Would they feel comfortable depending on her? How could she ask that of them when she suddenly felt so young and unprepared? Theory gulped and put on a brave face, wondering if anyone would speak out at Shaye's invitation.
