Chapter 37

"This way, love!" Nana called over her shoulder.

For a small, old woman, she was very agile.

Isla jogged forward, trying to keep up.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," she answered, finally falling into step next to her, although she would likely fall behind again.

Nana paused to bend down to inspect a plant quickly before moving on.

"I heard you and Kelly were up early this morning."

"Yeah, even before the sun," isla shook her head as she stepped over a fallen log.

"I doubt that boy has slept later than the sunrise in his whole life," Nana chuckled.

"Why did he get you up so early?"

"I, uh, we…" Isla wasn't sure if she should tell Nana about the situation with her wolf, but when the old woman peered over her shoulder with king, inquiring eyes, she knew she could trust Kelly's grandmother.
