Paul's pov
The day came to an end so quick and the night blanketed the camp in a peaceful hush, the lively chatter of the day replaced by the soft crackle of campfires and the occasional rustle of leaves. Dinner had been a simple yet hearty affair, with everyone enjoying the warm, communal atmosphere. But as the evening wore on, exhaustion began to settle over the camp. One by one, pack members retired to their respective quarters, leaving only a few guards stationed at key points.
I lingered outside, pacing under the guise of checking the perimeter. In reality, my attention was elsewhere, on Pecan.
