Tristian
The war doesn’t last long at all. Without Trent’s leadership, the rogues devolved and scattered after the second fight. It may take years for another large group of rogues to band together and even longer for a powerful wolf to take them over. With how Moonlight Pack must be now… they will scatter too without any leadership. Of course, I can’t call myself a leader as it is.
As my wounds healed, I knew it only meant my time here was coming to an end. I silently cursed my Alpha blood for making them heal faster and dreaded what was to come. Xander only allowed me to stay because I saved Leah but only and it will truly be all my fault.
until my wounds healed completely. Soon I’ll be all left alone
Regretting it all doesn’t change anything though. I tried to speak to Daisy and apologize but she didn’t accept it. She barely let me speak before she lashed out but it was what I deserved. The more she talked down on me, the more I agreed with every word.
“You want to apologize now? After everything you did, you think you can get forgiveness?” Daisy laughed and shook her head. “I don’t know if you’re arrogant or just plain stupid! Trash like you doesn’t deserve redemption! You’ll never change enough to be acknowledged no matter how hard you try! I’m never throwing you a bone so give up already!”
While it stabbed me in the heart, I had no way of countering it either. Leah tried to defend me like a little angel but how could she? She barely knows me. At least Daisy didn’t chew her out either though I hated her rolling her eyes.
What hurt most was what my son said to me. “I’m not your son and you’re not my father. And I’m not Keith either. My name is Skylar because the people who care about me know the real me. You’re nothing to me now, Tristian… you’ll soon be a forgotten memory of mine and I can’t wait for that.”
Forgotten memory… yes, soon everyone will forget about me, including Leah. Everyone will forget Moonlight Pack too meaning my father’s legacy will be too. I destroyed everything he built up and all I can do is be pathetic and feel sorry for myself and my actions.
As Leah gives me a health check–up, I can see the pity in her eyes. I’m all better now. That pain I was in is gone like it never happened. This will be my last morning here. “I’m sorry, Tristian.” She murmurs before walking off. She had to tell Xander about my condition.
I sigh and cover my face with my hands. Today I’m officially a rogue. I’ll be alone without a place to belong. “… I must look so pitiful for her to look at me that way,” I mutter to myself and stand up dusting off my pants.
Wild and free… I used to fantasize about it when I was a young pup. What would it be like? Then Father told me something I carried with me all these years. “The idea of it may sound tempting but you have to remember one thing: being wild and free means a lifetime of loneliness. You’re a pack wolf by nature, young pup. The loneliness will take away any sanity you have.”
I didn’t understand his words back then but now that I’m older and faced with this reality, I understand completely. I’ll be alone without anyone to have my back. I’ll slowly lose my mind and become a feral beast.
‘I’m sorry, Tristian.’ Silas’s voice makes me tense. He’s finally awake! ‘This is also my fault. I was blinded and couldn’t accept what was happening. I didn’t let go all the way and it’s something I’ll always regret.’
Didn’t let go? I frown and look down at my hands. Does he mean to let go of Naomi? I close my eyes tightly. It wasn’t only him that didn’t let go. rage I started to desire having both sisters as my own: my true and chosen mate all in one.
In my
“It’s not only on you,” mutter out loud. I let Daisy go only recently. Now Silas has to do the same with Naomi for us to have closure. “If I had done the same sooner, my thoughts wouldn’t have fed into yours. I get it… I do.” Now it’s time to stop being clingy and pathetic.
Hearing footsteps approaching, i look up from my hands and see Xander walking in with Leah..“It looks like you’ve made a full recovery.” He says looking me over. I brace myself for what I know is coming. “Because of this, you must leave now. I thank you for what you did for our pack healer but that’s as far as this goes.”
I swallow hard but nod in agreement. My time here is over. I need to move on. “Thank you for allowing me to recover here.” I dip my head. “I will leave immediately. I promise never to cross your border.” I look up and see Leah’s sad eyes.
“I will escort you there along with Daisy and Leah,” Xander says making me tense. Why is Daisy coming? “She’ll be leaving for home soon now that her pup has recovered but she wants to see you off. Get her closure I guess.”

Chapter 102
I let out a small laugh and nod. Daisy just wants to see me at my lowest point knowing that I brought this onto myself. “I understand. I take a deep breath and look up. “Please… lead the way.” I want to get this over with.
Xander knows and motions for me to follow. As we step outside, I see Grayson standing there along with the Omegas I exiled. I bite my tongue and just walk while they watch. They have a place to stay now all because they were on Skylar’s side. They’ve earned it too.
As we continue to walk, I stop the mini–me standing hand in hand with that dark–haired girl he’s always with. He holds his head up high and never breaks eye contact with me. Sensing the strength and bravery in him, I can’t help but feel proud of Skylar. He’ll be twice the man I ever was.
