Cassie - "Yes, yes, it is your lucky day Cassie, you get to choose a future pack. All three Alphas have agreed to accept both of you as soon as you are ready. Of course, I haven't told them what you are about to do. That is not my place, but all three are lovely packs with plenty of peace and friendly people. I have printed out some information on each so that you might ponder your decision. Once you have decided between you, let me know, and I will notify the packs and begin making plans, including your travel and accommodation needs." He says all this very quickly, and I will admit, it hurts a little that he seems so eager to see us gone. Something of my thoughts or feelings must show on my face, as he quickly adds, "not that I want you gone, I just want you to be free and able to begin putting this business with Ace in the past." He says kindly, and I believe him. I believe he only wants what is best for me, and I know

Cassie -  "You got this Cassie, and I will be right here waiting for you," Thomas speaks quietly from behind me. I turn towards him slightly so I am able to see him from the corner of my eye and give him a weak smile. Then I see Alpha and Luna standing close together further down the hall, they are smiling encouragingly at me, Luna bows her head in my direction slightly, nodding her approval of my plan once more, they don't move from where they stand nor do they speak, but they don't need to, I hear their message loud and clear, they are showing me that they are also with me, just as Thomas is, my silent triangle of pillars, ready to prop me up at a moments notice, always.I knew I couldn't delay any longer so with a heavy heart, I pushed open the door to the prison and walked through into the darkness, completely alone. It i

Thomas -  A week, that is how long it has been since she last opened her eyes, a week in which all I have managed to do is the bare minimum of self care, I have managed to get my time spent showering down to 3 minutes, I eat in Cassies room, I sleep on a cot provided by the Alpha beside Cassie's bed. I just can't bring myself to leave, not for training or for anything else, I'm desperate for her to open her eyes. I can't focus on anything other than her still form. Alpha understands, he sees what her condition is doing to me. As we are planning to leave the pack soon he has relieved me of all other duties, I no longer meed to go to training, nor have I been requested for any meetings or patrols. I have been left to wallow in my worry over Cassie in peace.Luna has visited, b

Cassie -  "We will leave you to rest some more and be back later to check on you, I am going to go and design a recovery plan to hopefully aid you in the coming days," Dr Thorne says this and then he and Luna leave the room, Thomas however doesn't move.He watches me for a while and I watch him, then I ask him to talk to me as I fall asleep. So he does, he talks about the plans he thought of for us, he tells me about getting our stuff shipped to the new pack and our travel plans and I fall back to sleep with a smile and high hopes for the future.My eyes dart between the three of them and when they finally settle on Thomas's unwavering gaze I'm able to breathe. "We will leave you to rest some more and be back later to check on yo

Cassie -  Dr Thorne has just left, he walked me through the routine he wants me to keep while we travel, which I plan to follow as precisely as possible, our bags are both waiting expectantly by the door, and Thomas has gone to notify Alpha and Luna of our departure.Dr. Thorne wished me luck for the future and told me kindly that I could call him anytime for any reason while slipping a piece of paper with his number on it into my hand. I thank him for all he has done for me, hoping he can hear in my voice how truly grateful I am for all he has done for me.Alpha Sven and Luna Lily come with Thomas to my room to wish us both farewell, Luna Lily gets a little teary eyed and blames it on allergies, but I am also finding our goodbye difficult, she has been a blessing these last weeks
