“Damon's pack isn’t your responsibility anymore... You’ve given enough. You’ve suffered enough. It’s time to think about yourself for once, Luna. You’re stronger than you realize.”
Her words hit me hard, and I closed my eyes, the reality of everything sinking in. “I don’t know if I’m strong enough to do this.”
“You are,” she said firmly. “You’re stronger than anyone I know. You’re not trapped.”
“I need to confront Damon first. I need him to know that I’m not just leaving the pack—I’m leaving him. My things were pack already."
“I get it. But don’t let him pull you back, Luna. You deserve better than this.”
“I know,” I whispered, more to myself than to her. “I’ll call you when it’s done.”
After I hung up the phone, I sat in silence, feeling the weight of the decision I had just made. Lily is right. There was no going back now. I wasn’t just leaving the pack—I was leaving Damon. The thought was terrifying, but at the same time, there was a small part of me that felt... free.
