Even after the car pulled up to the school gates, my mind was still looping Derrick’s question from earlier that morning, “You seem really familiar with Avi’s music?” That single question was like a pebble dropped in water-small, but it kept sending ripples through me, and I hadn’t calmed down even by the time I stepped out of the car.
Alice muttered inside me, “Why are you freaking out? It’s not like he has proof. You said you’ve just heard a few songs, totally believable!”
I took a deep breath and walked into the training camp, only to instantly feel something was off. Groups of girls were huddled together, waving little flags printed with werewolf emblems, chatting excitedly. Even the usually quiet path under the trees felt buzzing with energy.
“Amanda, over here!” Emily’s voice rang out ahead of me. She waved her backpack as she ran up, her cheeks flushed pink, eyes sparkling like she had stars trapped in them. “Did you hear? Alan’s coming to our training camp this afternoon!”
“Alan?” I blinked, caught off guard for a moment, then remembered the guy from dinner last night. Right -Alan, the current peace ambassador for Howlstead. He traveled between packs shooting unity-themed promo videos. No wonder the whole camp felt like a mini festival.
“Yup!” Emily grabbed my arm, bouncing with excitement. “He’s filming a video about cooperation between our training camp and nearby packs, something for the Howlstead Peace Accord promo! I’ve liked him since middle school! He’s not just handsome, he’s been to the Blackridge Pack, even the Shadow Pack, and helped mediate real conflicts. A bunch of smaller peace agreements were thanks to him!”
Her eyes were glowing with admiration. Then she leaned in and added in a quieter voice, “I wanna be like him one day. Travel between packs, help people work things out, and make Howlstead a little more peaceful.”
I couldn’t help but smile at how serious she looked. Turns out Emily’s “crush” wasn’t just about looks, it was tied to this warm, genuine goal.
I thought back to Alan at dinner last night, complaining about how early he had to get up for these videos. The charm had long since worn off for me. But looking at the spark in Emily’s eyes, I couldn’t bring myself to dampen her excitement. “Sure. If we’re free this afternoon, I’ll go with you,” I said.
“Really?!” Emily threw her arms around me in a tight hug. “Amanda, you’re the best! I already borrowed a flag from my friend, we’re getting front row!”
Alice snorted. “Tsk. This little girl is even more fired up than you were back in Glacier Pack when you wanted to be a ‘peace negotiator.”
I patted Emily on the back and walked with her arm-in-arm toward the classroom. The sunlight warmed our shoulders, and even the air felt a little sweet.

I gripped the straps of my backpack, trailing just a few steps behind Amanda and Emily. My nails were digging into my palms.
Watching the two of them linked arm-in-arm, laughing about seeing Alan later that afternoon, it felt like needles stabbing into my chest.
It used to be me surrounded by chatter-Prunella and the others fighting to carry my energy bars, telling me how great my Anglish was.
But after the Pack fell apart, they started avoiding me like the plague. Now, it was just me.
