Violet
Kael had left while I was asleep.
I had sat with the news just briefly while sadness and relief hit me at the same time. It was better this way. Another goodbye would not have been nice for him.
I hoped the journey home would give him space to breathe, and I hoped, selfishly, that the next time I saw him, the sadness in his eyes would have faded enough for him to be happy.
We had left Frostheim not long after. After many appreciative thanks to Voya and her wolves for not only hosting, but helping me, we started the journey back to Silverwood.
When we arrived in Silverwood, I was welcomed differently.
It seemed the wolves that had gone ahead of us had spread word of me being his mate. This time, I wasn't just the special guest, but their future Supreme Luna, and they were all excited.
I had spent the next two weeks with Rowan in quiet solace, only to prepare for the immense bulk of what I had to do next.
