Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Chapter 33

Whatever he's up to, I don't have time to deal with it right now.

I turn and nearly run down the hall before he can stop me again.

"...Thank you!" I hear him yell behind me.

Just as Ruby and I had discussed, I return to the apartment. I'm thankful I took the time to pack everythingup earlier. It's all neatly arranged, waiting for me.

I take one last look around the apartment.

"It better be the last..." Lucy says in my mind. Her voice is joking, but I know that she's been through a lot with all this

emotional turmoil.

We both have been through a lot.

But that's all going to change

We're going to find a new pack. I'll get a new job-it doesn't matter to me what it is. I don't care if I'm a Beta or a Gamma, a Delta, or no title at all.

As long as I don't have to resort to being a rogue, we'll be okay. As long as I have a pack, we'll be okay.

Me, Lucy, and the baby. We're going to be okay.

The more I let myself imagine our future, the more excited I fee.

There's a whole world of possibilities out there beyond Pack DarkWood.

Maybe it was Fate for everything to turn out this way..
