Pain is nothing but a contender

Her brother being a homebody was probably rather a good thing. After all, he was not only a Warden, but also Beta. Sticking around was likely much more conducive for the pack than constantly jetting off like she tended to do.

"Hopefully the knowledge will do us some good." She liked to think that it would. It had proved useful so far, at least, and fun to boot. She was very happy he agreed to go with her despite his tendency to stay within borders. She would look forward to the trip as a chance to bond with him even more and catch up on some lost time. And yet, despite their long absence, she did not feel the distance that she had initially worried about when she first left to follow him. Funny how things worked out sometimes.
