Erik slowed the vehicle in front of the big black decorative gates of the Blackstone Packs main entrance. After a moment, it opened and we drove forward. We passed a lot of buildings. Made, of course, of stone. Black Stone, to be sure. I snorted at the same time as Lisa giggled. My heart clinched, knowing that before we both would have made comments together. I focused on David who was looking out the front. He was tense and on alert. So were the other men in the vehicle.
Soon we drove down a long driveway lined with so many men and women and children. They all looked excited and were yelling my name. "QUEEN CLARA!" Flower petals were being thrown at us and I was in shock. Anthony squeezed my shoulder and I smiled at him. My heart was racing, and I didn't know what to think of all this.
