I watched over the next few weeks as Margot fell in love with him. His visits to the pack had become so frequent that he now had a pallet permanently set up for him in David's home. He seemed extremely smitten with Margot, and she seemed just as taken by him that I enjoyed watching them.I enjoyed watching his eyes lighting up whenever she was near. Their connection was undeniable, and it was heartwarming to witness the love that had flourished between them.But even in the midst of this happiness, I couldn't help but wonder about his past. There were hints of a mysterious history, a life beyond our pack that he had left behind. He spoke little of it, and it piqued my curiosity.One evening, under the silver glow of the moon, I approached him, wanting to know more about his story. "Mind if I join you for a moment?" I asked, settling down beside him by the crackling fire.He smiled warmly, gesturing for me to sit. "Of course, I'd be glad to chat.""I can see how much you care for Margo

The next day, my journey began earlier than the cock’s crow. There was no reason for me to remain in the pack and wait anymore, I had packed up all of my things for the trip, mostly weapons since I did not know how the reception at the pack would be, and I was ready. I had decided not to make a big thing out of it, forgoing the large announcement I usually would have made for their sakes and mine. I strongly believed that being around all of them would make leaving so much harder for me. Besides, goodbyes were pretty hard for me. Without waiting for anything else, I hoisted my things over my shoulder and began to hike all the way to my former pack. I remembered the path I had taken to arrive where I had, and I was familiar with all of the places. As I passed the pack where I had been attacked with the rest of the outcasts, I carefully skirted around the pack boundaries, avoiding them. It was almost like I was returning to where I was that day, because I could imagine Luke, David, l

The decision was made. I had found the closure I sought, and now it was time to return to my own pack, armed with the newfound strength I had discovered within myself. As the sun set, casting a warm glow over the pack's territory, I sat in my temporary lodgings, making plans for the journey ahead.Tomorrow, I would head back to my own pack, to my friend Lee who had supported me through thick and thin. I knew he would be waiting with open arms, ready to hear about my journey.The night was surprisingly peaceful, filled with a sense of anticipation for what the next day would bring. As I lay in the room where I once slept, memories of the past danced through my mind like fireflies in the darkness.The following morning, I woke up with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Today was the day I would leave this pack and return to my own. But before I could embark on that journey, there was one final conversation I needed to have.I sought out Brad, finding him by a quiet stream that had

We set off immediately. It was to be a full moon that night, and I could feel the easy thrum of excitement in my veins. We would be having a shift while on the road. That had to make for a very interesting trip. As heavy, tired feet trudged behind me, I smiled.The forest around us was alive with a symphony of rustling leaves as our pack gathered our belongings, preparing to make our way back to my former pack's territory. The decision to return had not been an easy one, and my resolve had left me quickly, but the moon goddess's persistent messages had left me with an unshakable sense of purpose. Beside me, Kimora's presence was reassuring, her loyalty like an anchor in the storm.As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and red, I thought back to that morning. I had called our diverse group of wolves together. Their eyes held a mixture of determination and curiosity, the bond among us growing stronger with each passing day. "Friends," I began, my vo

Upon sighting the large crowd heading over to Brad's, a huge crowd began to gather, people of different ages and sizes coming out of their homes. As they spotted me in the front of the procession, I began to hear murmurs, and I had to bite down on my tongue to keep from saying something I didn't really mean. They had mixed reactions, some seemed to respect the changes I had gone through, with the little kids being of the majority, pointing at my muscles and feeling out, while the older kids seemed to be unsure, tentative with their reactions. Finally at the pack house, I went in along with Ethan, so I could speak to Brad. Upon seeing me, he gave me a nod of respect, dismissing Ethan from his presence. “You came, just like you said you would.” “What can I say?” I laughed, “I am a woman of my word.”Brad's stern expression softened into a small smile. "I appreciate that, especially in times like these."As the door closed behind us, I got straight to the point. "Brad, I'm here becau
