Her purpose for travelling seemed to interest him, and he began to ask questions to dig deeper into why she was searching for someone. Normally she wasn’t the most forthcoming with information when it came to strangers, but she had no obligation to keep it hidden. With any luck, maybe he’d seen the man she was looking for.

She couldn’t imagine living her entire life without the comfort and security that came with a pack, but she knew some preferred to not have to answer to anyone but themselves.
