We Went Back Novels & Stories

"And probably by not all making it back." We didn't make it back, as it turned out. Not all of us.

We were a formidable team, ready to take on any challenge that came our way. With a smile, I nodded in agreement. "You're right, Ethan. We've come so far, and I believe in us. The unknown may be daunting, but as long as we face it together, we can overcome anything." As nightfall blanketed the world around us, we made our way back to our home, a sanctuary where we could plan our next steps. The room was adorned with mementos from our past adventures—maps, artifacts, and photographs that told the story of our journey. It served as a constant reminder of the strength we possessed and the experiences that had shaped us.

“Kathy… she’s safe, isn’t she? You’ve been hiding this from me! Tell me! Now!” Linda’s heart softened. She spoke gently. “It was her choice. She didn’t want to disrupt your life with Cadence. She didn’t go northwest. She went south, to Socalli City, to seek her family.” "Russ… Kathy has let you go. Since your heart lies with another, let this end. Don’t interfere with her new life. Your paths have diverged; treat her as a stranger from now on. If you have chosen Cadence, then be true to her. To break this engagement now would be a humiliation she could never endure.”

They knew it better than we did, and I was positive they had traps in place. So, we played it discrete, taking notes of everything around us and discussing it through our pack link, but putting on the show for anyone watching that we were disappointed that we didn't find anything. We would go back, regroup and then go from there. I was going to rain hell down on them. *** The trip back was solemn. We ran for hours, getting home just as the sun was starting to set. The power from the castle made me groan, and I knew nothing good was going on inside.

SIERRA We went back to the pack house that evening. Not because we had to. The council was done, the formal stuff was finished. We could've driven straight back to the city and been home by midnight. But Vera had food going and my mom had already said yes before anyone asked me, and honestly I didn't want to head back to the apartment yet. I wanted one more night in a house that felt like it had real roots.

Me and the girls went to the stores nearby and bought some jewellery. I even bought some cute tops that I liked. When the boys started whining about getting tired, we headed back to them. We got into the car and decided to just return back to the hotel. It was overall a fun day. Life is really good and I don't want this moment to ever end.

Chapter 138 ~ Back Home KYLIE'S POV It took us two days to return to the pack land. Each of us carried a relic in our backpack, a testament to the crazy journey we had embarked on. It was nighttime, so we were able to make it back to the pack house without being noticed. When we got there, we simultaneously made our way to Elijah's office to offload. "I'm hoping this will be our last adventure," Jason said as he set down his backpack with a groan.

“Let’s go get our future back.” —-

I did it again. And just like that... We were back to playing. Lighter this time. But just as easy. By the time we got back to shore, the sky had started to shift into evening. Reality crept back in. It was almost time for dinner. Ethan and Lilly. I dried off slowly, glancing at Damien. “We should head back,” I said. He nodded once. “Yeah.” As we gathered our things and started walking back, I couldn’t help but feel it again...

I knew we couldn’t go back. But maybe, just maybe, we could move forward. Together.
