A Call For Peace

❝The river moseyed past us as we sat in our furs. A bark sounded from my left.

"Where to now?"

"The river."

I was suddenly the center of attention. I lifted my chin.

"We follow the river," I repeated.

Eight wolves studied me in silence. A bird chirped in the distance. A moment later, Ma stood.

"The river it is, then," she said.

Ma gave me a knowing look. She clearly knew something. I just wasn't sure what it was.❞

In a litter of eight, it's difficult to stand out. But, in this family, there is no need. Each member plays an important part in the harmony, including Paloma. As the seventh born, she has always been the baby girl of the family. Besides, despite the hardships in life growing up as a rogue, her mischievous nature is limitless.

Yet, when Paloma fights with death, things change. Her wolf starts to act up and she doesn't have the slightest clue why. It certainly doesn't help that their first shift is coming up, the day they first uncover the were part of their species name.

From there, things get even stranger. The Moon calls, a powerful howl sounds through the night and a pack torn by war cries in the distance. The Skyle family is about to undergo a lot of changes, threatening to tear them apart forever.
