Caleb’s meeting with Sofia had made him a little late getting on the road home. But Caleb still made it back, just as most of Summer sat down to eat dinner.
He had requested that the guards at the gate not announce him. He wanted to go home without a big ceremony made of it. He wanted to see his family and hold his wife in his arms.
The six-hour journey had felt like a lifetime.
His conversation with Sofia had left him feeling a heaviness in his heart that he couldn’t quite explain. He had defended Alice because of his own interactions with her. He wasn’t sure of her motivations, but the fact that her warning had allowed him and his wolves to help save so many lives in Winter was worth something to him.
But he had never expected what he learned today.
