So now you've met Jenny! I was so excited to bring her into the book. She's going to be one bad ass vampire.

I woke early the next morning. The rain had stopped and Kade had told me the night before that if it had, training would go on. I was ready to get dirty in the mud and I was ready to kick some ass out there.

I slipped on clothes and happily skipped out my room. I entered the kitchen where Jenny was. She was buttering toast and humming softly. The song she was singing sounded familiar and it suddenly brought sadness to my wolf.

But as I listened, I couldn't figure out what it was that she was singing. It was right on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't put my finger on it. I sighed.

"What song is that?" I asked her softly. She turned around to face me, smiling weakly.

"A song that I heard while I was away. I thought it was beautiful. You know it?" She cocked her head at me. I nodded my head at her.

"I think. What's it from?" I asked her again. She smiled some more and bit into her toast.

"You know that film, called 'Holes'? The one about the boys who were sent away to the middle of nowhere to dig holes?" She asked me. It snapped in my mind and I suddenly remembered.

It was the song from my favourite childhood movie. The song was so familiar because my mother used to sing it to me. Every night before bed up until I was eleven. I can almost hear her voice singing it to me now.

"My mother used to sing it to me when I was little. It was my lullaby," I said to Jenny. She smiled weakly at me and nodded knowingly.

"Well I have a run to go on. I'll see you after I finish my training," I changed the subject quickly. Jenny nodded at me.

"Ezra is out with the tracker wolves scouting the area
If you see him, tell him that I want his hide back in this kitchen," Jenny told me before I could walk away. I giggled and nodded at her.

I slipped out the cabin and met Lila and Brayleigh by the trail we ran. They greeted me with wide smiles and then we took off. We decided not to run in our fur, seeing at it was miserable outside and the ground was slippery.

I didn't mind though. I liked the mud. I used to play outside in the mud with my brothers as a kid all the time. My mother would be so angry with us when he came inside for lunch covered from head to toe in mud. But she always laughed and then bathed us anyway.

"So have you thought about what you're gonna do about leaving yet?" Brayleigh asked me as we ran. I sighed at the thought and realised that I needed to talk to Beckett. If Henry wanted an answer, I had to give it to him quick.

"Yap. I've thought about it and I still don't know. I'm going to talk to Beckett about it. I have to go back to fill in as Beta female but I don't want to. Terialta doesn't make me happy anymore. I was kind of thinking that if things don't work out, that I could go and join the Uncle's pack up in the falls," I explained to them both. Lila groaned and pouted. Brayleigh just looked upset.

"You could stay here! It would be the best for you! You love everyone here," Lila pleaded. I shrugged at her as I ran.

"I'm not sure yet, Lila. As I said, I'm going to talk to Beckett about it. I know that all the other boys will want me to go home, but I know that he'll give me his honest opinions," I stated quickly. I didn't want to leave Lila and Brayleigh. I was so close with them and leaving felt wrong. Plus, that pull between Lila and I make my stomach knot when I thought about leaving.
