A knock at my door woke me up, ncing at my phone I saw it was only seven AM.
“Honey it’s me can Ie in” I am surprised Mom was here this early:
They stayed over at the Cresent Moon pack, so they could visit Kate and Tim again. And give them
some of the gifts they already had for their pup. It was a two–hour drive to get here.
“Of course, Mome on in” I shout at the closed door as I sit up straighter knowing I have to get
anyway soon to finish my left shift at the library.
I could have probably gotten the day off with the news I got yesterday. I discussed it with Grandpa but I
just wanted to end this normally. Most likely David would start a war, he has ruined enough things for
me already. And he is going to ruin more, there is no way I am letting him take thisst day at the job I
so enjoyed away from me.
“Hi, honey, Grandpa told us you were still going to work so we decided. to be here in time to have
breakfast with you. Just so we can tell you how proud we are of you” Mom tells me.

And I appreciate it, it’s so sweet that they have gotten up so early to have breakfast with me. But I
didn’t feel like I had done anything that warranted them being proud of me. All I did was finally ept
the best thing that ever happened to me. Finally not letting David ruin even more for me. It was hard
not feeling guilty about the fact that my parents and, Dani?l had lost everything because of me now. My
mind kept going over all the things I could have done differently. Like Griffin, my parents would never
want me to feel guilty and I am determined not to ruin their breakfast. So I just kiss my mother’s check
and tell her I am just going to get dressed.
Opening my closet I smile when I see it is almost empty, most of my clothes are already packed. Neatly
stacked away in the boxes stacked up against the other wall. I packed them a little early but it felt good
taking steps towards my future. Mom and Dad would load them up in their car- so that Griff would not
see them. Then they would make their way to the castle tomorrow morning so they would just be in
time for the BBQ. Thinking about the fact that Griffin still doesn’t have a clue about what is happening
made me feel a lot lighter. There was no reason for me to dwell on the past when my future was
shaping up to be so bright.
After a quick shower, I dress in simple jeans and a ck shirt. The library didn’t have a uniform but they
did want their staff to dress in dark jeans and ck tops. I usually wore brighter colors, but I preferred
just needing to stick to a color scheme instead of wearing a uniform. Still, I wouldn’t miss wearing these
clothes. I tie my hair up in a bun and make my way to the kitchen.
Daniel jumps up to hug me telling me how proud he is of me. Dad just

We
winks at me and for a moment it feels as if nothing else is going on. try to not discuss the deaths of
Alpha Phillip and Luna Jenna but you can’t just keep ignoring something so big. Being the intuitive
smart man he is Grandpa is the first to break the silence
“Is there a possibility that this was not an ident, that there is more going on? Could the BloodMoon
pack be under attack?” He says thinking out loud.
That theory isn’t too far-fetched, Alpha Phillip was a hard and cold Alpha, there is a reason we have
hardly been able to keep the pack thriving. Most packs had several pack doctors. Even some retired
ones. who would be willing to help out in a crisis. Packs did only have one lead warrior but they had
close seconds. Who when not in a war could take over from the lead warrior whether that was
permanently or temporarily. But not the Blood Moon pack they have always been. struggling to make
sure we had every necessary position filled in. There. also had been quite a few rogue attacks, mainly
because Alpha Phillip had a habit of driving wolves he deemed unworthy out of the pack.
“I’m so sorry we are about to lose it all, and A my poor baby all the abuse I made you suffer through”
Mom suddenly started sobbing.
When I was old enough I overheard a discussion between Mom and Dad about how the BloodMoon
pack was being led. I know Dad had wanted to move out of the pack before, the longer they stayed the
harder it had be. Eventually, Mom was the only pack doctor left and leaving would eventually lead
to war. I was sure Dad did not me Mom for what was happening and neither did I. Nobody did, being
loyal to your

pack was one of the things that made us wolves. Every wolf that left their pack, mostly to live with their
mate felt the pain of breaking their first pack bond. Mom not wanting to abandon the good members of
the pack made sense. After all, she became a doctor because she wanted to help people. After we all
reassured her I said my goodbyes and walked into the library for thest time.
***
Myst shift at the library was wonderful my co–workers put money together and got me a farewell gift.
A basket full of funny gifts I could do and use with Griffin. And now it is finally time to drive to the castle
alone for thest time. Next weekend Dillion, Colin, Jessa, Gerald and of course, Griff are all going to
help me. I am sure I am still going to be visiting the White Oak pack often. Especially now that Mom
and Dad are finally going to move into the White Oak pack. They did not feel safe about staying with
the BloodMoon pack with David as their Alpha. They already wanted to leave after what happened with
me, and now with the pack bond breaking. But from here on out visiting here will be me and Griff and
hopefully, in time it will be my family. Me, Griff, and
our pups.
This time I was almost giddy during the drive over to the castle, to what in one more week would be my
home. For now, I am more excited and at little bit nervous about hosting the BBQ. Both with what
Griffin will think and if the pack will like me. With giving up on finding a mate I had given up on
bing a member of a new pack. Of course, finally getting mated to Griff was about us and our love.
But I love being a member of a pack, it was something I missed at the BloodMoon pack, something I
hate now at the White Oak pack. Something I hoped I

wouldn’t lose because of how I behaved when I had just met Griffin.
Like he was every Friday Griffin stood in the parking lot waiting for me. I would miss that, seeing as I
parked the car always felt likeing. home. Maybe it is silly because this would be my home very
soon. For now, I just enjoyed the sight of his face breaking into a wide grin the moment he saw my car
pull up. Like it did every week my worries faded to the background when I saw Griffin for the first time in
a week. As soon as I got out he pulled me closer and gave me a kiss that left me a bit breathless.
“I missed you, Darling, I cannot wait for you to live here with me. But for now, my parents want to talk
with you. I am sorry we have a meeting the moment you arrived.” Griffin said.
I knew what this was about, sure it wasn’t the best start of our weekend together but it felt good that
Griff’s parents already considered me a part of the family. They wanted to involve me when making big
decisions like this. Because whatever we would decide to do, it would have a huge effect possibly on
every werewolf in this country.
