The day before the Winter Convergence was no less busy. With most of the tasks completed, the wolves only had packing left. Everyone due to travel from Clare to Novar had an early night. They would need to leave before daybreak if they intended to get to camp on time. Emma felt like she slept for two hours when there was a knock at the door. She groaned a curse and looked at her visitor. Zane stood by her door, only his head visible. “It’s time”, he smiled at her. He quickly closed the door when Emma aimed a pillow at him. She felt irritated hearing his laughter beyond the door. The Alpha grumbled under her breath as she got out of bed. She wouldn’t be able to get him back for now. Emilio decided that Zane, Emmett and Elder Lavoie and his wife would remain behind as the acting leaders.
