Not alone (1)
~ the Dark Howlers pack ~
It's been two days since Damon and Talia returned from the Spring Leaf pack.
Trisha and Arya also came with Caleb and Keith.
On the day they returned, Doctor Travis examined Arya and confirmed that she had healed well. Other than a few fading bruises, she was as good as new.
Gideon was ready with a ceremony for Trisha and Arya to join the Dark Howlers pack, and they prepared a small feast to celebrate afterward.
Talia told Keith and Caleb that she won't be leaving the pack in the next few days, so they could take time off guilt-free and enjoy getting to know their mates.
Keith couldn't wait to end the formalities and head to the secluded house prepared for them. The house was comparable to what Gideon and Mindy used, with three bedrooms upstairs, and a living area downstairs, and it included a patch of land around it for privacy. Keith hoped they could stay there long-term.
