During the camp, attendees took courses in a variety of fields including finance, technology, and management. It was aimed at preparing the young werewolves for leadership roles to ensure that all packs within the kingdom maintained a high level of management and accountability. Besides that, they also underwent combat training and learned skills in hunting.
“I’ll leave you to settle down,” Julian told her. “We’ll talk later.”
After leaving Crystal, Julian’s mind had gone back to what happened at the hall. He couldn’t get rid of the image of Zero and Lyra together, with his cousin acting all protective over het. Someone would think he was het mate or something!
