I sent it all to the pack. Every dirty secret. Every betrayal. Then I smashed the laptop for good measure, grabbed my suitcase, and walked out. By the time I got to the airport, my phone was blowing up. Calls from Tristan. Texts from pack members. All in all, I didn’t care.

I was done being the one left behind.

New pack. New life. New me.

I swore to myself: No more sacrifices. No more waiting. I choose me.
