Priorities

"Who is this handsome guy?" Sylvia asked as she came into the Hallowell house for dinner that night.

"This is Sage," Greta introduced him. "He's going to be staying here while his sister is away."

"She said she was leaving on work for the council?" Graeme asked, taking a seat at the table next to his sister and August. "I wonder what it is that she does exactly."

"She didn't say," August replied, noticing how Sage seemed to look uncomfortable at the topic. She hadn't told Graeme about his abilities yet, but she imagined Graeme wasn't one of the people Selah was worried about. If anything, Graeme knowing more about Sage should be better for his protection from anyone out to get the alyko.

"Sage, it is so nice to meet you," Sylvia said, introducing herself. "Are you going to be helping look after August while Graeme is busy doing important Alpha things at the pack house?"
