Losers and non-losers

The Black Moon was over, so the girls couldn't just visit a club and get loose. Amanda was grateful for that! Taking care of Lucretia was a hassle already; she didn't need a noisy environment to make things worse.

She bought two drinks at the pubs - nonalcoholic even though it wouldn't have made any difference for them - and returned to the table after sending a message to her brother. Just in case he worried about her, or the Alpha sent him to look for them.

She didn't want him to wander around helplessly, even though she knew she was going to be scolded first thing. But what could she do? Leave Lucretia alone and in trouble? That would have been worse, especially given that brat's character.

Moreover, why in the world was she going to Norwich? Of all places, that damned city. It was where their rival pack lived, and, judging from Renato's words, they were currently at odds, almost at war.
