FUTURE I fall down, unable to move I am laughing so hard. I was filled with so much joy. “It’s not funny beautiful. I could have died” Justen states laughing along with me.

He put his hands in his pockets, “I would like an answer from you on the matter.” I hesitated. Eric was… Well he wasn't that bad. He had never hurt me like Damion. He just killed people… Lots of people. Maybe he could change? What if being Queen gave me more control over what happened to the innocents? Then it would be worth it. The people would be safe.

That rank-based oppression was wrong. That mission was complete. Omega rights were established. Freedom was protected. Wolves could choose their own paths. The Midnight's Mark was no longer needed.
