\"Hunting-Ground\"<\/a>The second Alpha & Omega book takes place soon after the events in Cry Wolf<\/em> (around the events of Moon Called<\/em>.) Bran has called a meeting with the European wolves, to discuss the fact that he is bringing the wolves out into the public.<\/p>\n

Anna is still coming to terms with her Omega status, and her marriage to Charles, Bran’s enforcer.<\/p>\n

Brother Wolf felt her, too. Mate, he told her, not unkindly. Get out of our head so we can deal with She-Who-Is-Not-Kin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is a lovely scene in a restaurant where Anna has to step away from the wolves, and plays the piano to distract herself, and then an elderly man asks her to play a song for him. I love that scene, and Charles’ reaction to it.<\/p>\n

So often people got it wrong, treating their elders like children, people to be coddled and ignored. He knew better, and so did the big man. The Elders were closer to the Maker of All Things and should be deferred to whenever they made their will known.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Anna is growing into herself in a way in which I completely approve.<\/p>\n

Power came to her call, and she said, \u201cI will make myself safe<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She also states my beliefs on reincarnation.<\/p>\n

If people remembered once being kitchen maids, or farmers who died of nothing more interesting than old age, I might reconsider my stance on reincarnation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
