During all royal events, there are photographers present to take pictures for the website. We used to keep other
packs in the loop about what was happening. Of course, my being formally introduced to the pack and moving in

We text back and forth for a few more minutes but soon we both have to go our separate ways. She was right
about both accounts | don’t think | would want that picture on the royal website. | honestly still struggle with
coming to terms with the fact that the entire country, can see what | am up to. So something so intimate would
be too much for me. This would be amazing as a printed picture in our living room, however. | am about to text
Griffin to tell him about it. But I think the better of it and instead, | text Jeannette one last time.
“If you haven't sent this to Griffin yet, please don’t so | can surprise him,” | ask her, hoping she sees it in time.
Within a second she letknow he hadn't opened the text so she deleted the picture and sent another one.
One she senttoo, it's a cute picture but
not nearly as cute as the first one. | can’t wait to see the smile on his face when I give him this framed picture.
Krystel and | were going to go for a coffee outside of the pack ground. | know there is a one-hour photo service
close to the Starbucks we are going to. So | will go there and ask them to print this picture three timest one for in
our living room and two smaller ones to go into our wallets.

agree to not tell anything to Daniél. And | reassure Krystel that | don’t mind them not being at my farewell party.
After all, they are not the ones that have to say goodbye to me.
“I love | get to stay in my pack, but it does mean I need to find my role in the pack” Krystel sighs just as | park
