"I did," Violet pressed her lips together after answering, stamping down the emotion into a thin line there before it could escape and expose itself out into the open. "I scented that I was close to another pack. That pack was Thundering Falls, and I crossed their border."

"What happened then, Violet?" Maggie asked.

Violet glared at Maggie and at the question she asked. She didn't want to discuss the details here. She didn't want to bring all of what she had endured out into the open.
