Pebble Stone always imagined she’d follow her family to California and join their pack. During her last years of high school, her parents asked her if she’d consider taking over the Wisconsin pack one day instead—she has the power and the respect of the other wolves in the pack. A wave of warmth from her wolf, a connection she alone has with her other soul, helped convince her to agree.

Her parents aren’t ready to step down just yet. They have several years of leadership in them and Pebble is about to start college. Training will be just one more class.
