Meanwhile...

Cicero approaches the door of the abandoned house that is the Able wolves' denning. She is met by a boy and a girl. She bows to them.

"He believes me, so does the newest, Akuji," the child tells the two.

The boy nods, not needing to do much else to show his approval of the child.

"Come. We have many things to discuss. You too, Kiara," he beckons for Cicero and the girl to follow and they both do.

Once they are inside, the boy turns to Cicero, his ears lowered and tail flicking in question.

"Have you killed Rowan yet?"
