Slade mumbled, “Suit yourself” Had Rylee ordered hi the crazy prince? “Sit, at least, so we can talk”

Perceptive, Jesper backtracked “I mean, we all love her as Cricket Just fits her personality”

“Interesting, she left her pack” Most lower-rank wolves such as oas never ventured from their pack Cricket and Jesper were the exception “Do you knohy?”

Jesper sed “She was kicked out”

Slade tensed “Why?”

“Not sure about the details, except Rylee had met with Cade, the alpha, about a wolf hunter, who fell to his death from a cliff It was ruled an accident Anyway, Cade insisted Rylee find Cricket a ho the first known runt to survive the change, she brought her here and discovered she had e human spirit and acquired memory”

Slade cocked his head “Odd, no alpha would kick out a vulnerable wolf” Especially a runt

“Well, sir, only Rylee knows exactly why, but she keeps our stories under lock and key”
