Sven Ross occupied the fourth seat at the High Table and was more of an enigma than anyone else I had ever met. He was literally covered in scars. They crisscrossed his face, an old broken nose and a few marks on his cheek. He had scars on his arms and back; rumors had it that there were even more beneath his pant line. Those particular words had been whispered by blushing she-wolves, witnesses to this entire debacle. They were too afraid to approach him, but had no problem whispering from the sidelines.

Sven was the only one who seemed completely disinterested in the entire meeting. Even when David and Maurice talked about using my abilities for their own gain, he hadn’t flinched. His emotions mirrored that laid-back behavior, one that made me wonder if he had ever really cared about anything.

They’ll have to get about a mile away to this abandoned train station in the woods. David’s men rarely venture outside the pack boundaries, but when they do, they always take the main road. They use vehicles for transportation and have always stayed on two legs. There are some back roads that cut through the forest, those will be used to lead the white wolves away. The next town is almost an hour’s drive away. Once they get there.”
