Carmel was starting to feel queasy in the backseat of the car. They had been on a twisting gravel road for some time now. Carmel was used to long trips, but mostly by airplane. She never knew that a road, especially a gravel road, could go on forever like this. When she was able to lift her head to peak out the window, there were rolling hills as far as she could see. She was able to get into a meditative state after a few hours of monotonous bumps and turns in the road. In her mind, she sat, cross-legged in front of her wolf. Paxi also worried about Logan and if he was missing her. “Tell me about Logan, Paxi.” “He is exceptionally smart. He’s a real Alpha pup, strong with a sense of pack. He loves people. I love him so much, Carmel.” “I know. I can feel it glowing from your heart.” “
