Tiara's POV The pack house was large, full of people, yet I felt alone. I sat on my bed, staring at the ceiling, willing the feeling to go away. It was strange how, even in a place where I was treated better than I had ever been in MoonCrown, I still felt this emptiness. Maybe it was because I didn’t have Nina. I missed her. I missed her quiet smiles, her soft reassurances when everything felt overwhelming. She had been my only friend, the only person who had stood by me even when it was dangerous to do so. Now, she was still in MoonCrown, probably struggling under Phoebe’s cruel watch, and I was here, safe but alone. A thought crept into my mind, hesitant but persistent. Would Alpha Nicholas let me bring her here? Would he allow her to leave MoonCrown and come to ForestHowl? I knew it
