My dad shakes his head. He's usually gone during the day. When he’s not out on Park business, he works long

hours at his Law Firm in Vancouver

He continues, “Gabriel has been the go between between the rest of the world and our private little town for

He shrugs. The one thing we haven't built here yet, is a hospital. We have a small infirmary, headed up by a few

of the pack females who've been studying pack medicine - but we don’t always have the supplies we need.

When we first colonized here, we merged with the remaining members of the Blue Ridge Pack on the other side

of the mountain. They had suffered a devastating loss - much like we did for years ago and were in need of a

new start. One of the Blue Ridge females, Cadence, has been working on a degree in Genetics. Because of this

she’s able to order most of what we need in terms of medicine from the lab without being questioned.
