Aside from the gatherings before and during a wolf moon, funerals, or weddings, the pack rarely met en masse. Currently, about a third of the pack were spread around the center, which was basically a clearing in front of Ian’s house.
Benches were scattered around, easily draggable for forming a large circle around the center. Currently, they were mostly ignored, with most of the gathered lupine preferring to stand or pace. Kyra’s mother stood next to her father, and though he looked concerned, she appeared as annoyed as ever.

Kyra repressed a shiver that threatened to expose her fear. Mikos
