The blue sky overhead carried a few wisps of high clouds, and the fresh smell of evergreen filled the air from the tall trees crowding behind the scattered buildings on Main Street. Although the warmth of the sun was weak, it provided enough heat to negate the need for hats. Sadie wore a pair of thick woolen gloves, and Easton removed the one closest to him to claim her hand. She laughed and cuddled closer into his side when he tucked their clasped hands into his coat pocket to keep them warm.

Curious expressions followed their progress, and more than a few people stopped to say hello, angling for an introduction to the new wolf, although no one could have any doubt who she was. Wolves loved gossip like they loved the howling at the full moon. Sadie took it in stride, politely repeating her story about paying her family a visit. Yes, she might look to stay longer, but of course that was up to the alpha. Speaking of which….

A dark-haired man stepped out of the door of The Den at the other end of the street, the aura of power around him as much as his faint limp telling Easton it was Drew Tao. He turned his attention back to Ogden and Lara, the owner of the local lumber mill and his musician mate. “If you’ll excuse us, I should introduce Sadie to Drew.”

Ogden offered his hand. “Of course. So can you spare me some time tomorrow to get the tree in position?”

“Absolutely. And we will see you soon, Lara. I’ll bring Sadie to your next show at The Den.” They said their good-byes and did a silly one-two shuffle when both couples stepped to the left at the same time.

Drew waited for them on the sidewalk in a wide space naturally created by the other wolves in the street, giving their alpha a wide berth. Not because they feared him—Drew was nothing like the cruel monster his father had become. Solid and fair, he had worked wonders to bring peace to their shattered pack. Families like the Burrows were making their way back home, breathing new life into the town. Old traditions were being reinstated and new ones created to reinforce the pack bonds. The upcoming Solstice run was eagerly anticipated by old and young alike.

“Drew.” Easton inclined his head in a mark of respect then placed a hand on Sadie’s back to encourage her forward. “This is Sadie Burrows-King.”

The alpha returned his nod, the neutral expression on his face giving no indication of his thoughts. With his hands tucked in the front pockets of his jeans, his posture could be mistaken for relaxed, but the way he canted his head to one side gave the impression of a predator studying potential prey. Not scary, exactly, certainly nothing like the terror Ryker, the pack enforcer, could instill with the twitch of one eyebrow, but there was no mistaking Drew for anything other than a wolf at the very top of pack hierarchy.
