The story is actually beginning to come to a close now....and it's starting to end on a rather depressing note that even catches Laruk off-guard.
But! The story is not over quite yet, and neither is Bakudo's time spent in the story. There's still much more for Laruk to learn, even if she now better understands just how different these wolves are.
And finally, we have a namedrop! The pack actually has a name, believe it or not, the Stormguard!
