~Dahlia's POV~
I do not know for how long I stood there digesting everything I'd just heard, but by the time I finally gathered myself enough to move, to return to Howllowfang pack, it was already way into the morning.
The sun had begun its slow ascent into the sky, illuminating the clouds with a soft golden hue. Even the patrol officers of Shadowfang pack had even begun their morning routine check, and so for this, I held my shield around myself like a cloak and dragged myself the rest of the way.
However, the first thing I noticed as soon as I stepped into Howllowfang's pack house was Alpha Kai who was standing by the door with a look of pure fury on his face and his hands clasped behind his back.
When he saw me approaching, he let out a visible sigh of relief, but only for the briefest second as soon he was back to frowning so hard, I feared that his face would crack.
