The days after the first council carried a different weight.
Not heavier. Clearer.
Jer felt it in the way the land woke each morning. Wolves moved with purpose now—not urgency, not caution, but intent. The kind that comes when people understand not just what they’re doing ... but why.
Rain walked beside him along the fence line, the morning mist still clinging to the fields.
“They’re not waiting for orders,” she said softly.
Jer nodded. “They’re waiting for direction.”
She smiled. “That’s better.”
The visiting born wolves no longer stood apart.
They trained with the pack now—not as subordinates, not as challengers, but as equals learning a shared language of restraint and readiness. Jer watched them from the edge of the field as Pat ran perimeter drills.
The same small group still gravitated toward him.
Not because Pat commanded it. But because he earned it.
Rain leaned in close to Jer. “That’s your Guard.”
Jer shook his head. “That’s his.”
And that mattered.
By midday, the Master called them together near the barns.
Not formally. Not ceremonially.
Just enough presence to quiet the space.
“You have crossed from instinct into structure,” he said. “Most packs never survive that moment. They either fracture ... or become tyrants.”
His gaze rested on Jer and Rain.
“You have chosen a third path.”
Rain folded her arms. “We chose to listen.”
The Master’s eyes softened. “That is rarer than strength.”
That evening, the elder-born wolves returned.
Not to challenge.
To commit.
One by one, they stepped forward—not kneeling, not bowing—simply placing a hand over their heart in the old way.
Not a pledge to a throne.
A pledge to a standard.
“We will not rule for you,” the silver-braided elder said. “But we will stand with you when others forget what restraint looks like.”
