~~Micah's PoV~~
On the road back to Westbridge, my dad fills me in with his plan for how this is all going to go down.
“We can't take you in as a rogue,” he explains. “It would alert the border guards right away.”
“So I'm not going in?” I ask, confused. Then what am I doing here?
He sighs, looking unimpressed. “Of course you're going in. But we have to bring you back into the pack first.”
“Oh.” I'm still confused, though I don't want to admit it. I thought only the Alpha could restore my standing to the pack.
My dad sees my confusion even though I'm trying to hide it, and he rolls his eyes. “I already had the Alpha grant me temporary authority to return you to the pack myself if I found you. Of course he understood, as one father to another.”
Of course he did. That was what a norm
