As I gingerly step into the shower, the realization hits me that it has been an indeterminable amount of time since I last experienced the soothing sensation of warm water cascading over my weary form. Overwhelmed by a flood of emotions, I find myself unable to contain my sorrow. Tears mix with the comforting droplets, creating a bittersweet symphony of release.

“Beta Titus. Are you available?” Grandpa asks on the speakerphone while looking in the rearview mirror at me while I’m cuddled up in the back seat. “Yes, Sir. How is the trip going?” Titus asks. “It's going well for the most part, but I need you to get all the warriors to patrol the borders because she is super skittish. She is going to end up making a break for it the moment we hit pack borders.” He says with a heavy sigh. “We will have everyone positioned and waiting, Alpha. The Nightshade Warriors Pack is also here to talk about the alliance.” “Shit! I completely forgot they were coming with everything going on.” Grandpa sighs. “Can you ask Marcellus if his warriors can help patrol?” Grandma asks. “Yes, Luna. He is here with me now and just said they can help patrol. What's your estimated time of arrival?” Titus asks. “We are roughly thirty minutes out. But we are going to stop at the gas station to fill up and stretch our legs. So let's say an hour tops,” grandpa says

Just as I feel a panic attack coming on, my grandma rushes into the room, her voice soothing and comforting. She whispers softly, “Shh, shh, little one. You're safe now, you're back at the pack-house.” Just as I was about to respond, there was a sudden knock at the door. Grandpa appeared, peeking in with a warm smile on his face, joining grandma by my side. "You gave us quite a scare, Princesa," he said with concern. He waited for a moment, allowing me to gather my thoughts, before asking, "How are you feeling?" “As I woke up, a wave of fear washed over me as I struggled to remember if I had left the gas station. My mind was clouded with confusion, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in.”
