Chapter 0093

Cara's POV

"But why? Why you leave us, Ruby?" I ask my best friend, deeply saddened by her news.

"I hate to do it, Cara. But I must. I must go. For Mia." Ruby says simply.

"For Mia?" I ask, confused. How could Ruby leaving help Mia? Mia loves her Auntie Ruby.

I imagine what it will be like to tell the kids of Auntie Ruby's departure, and I feel sick. The children will be devastated, I'm sure of it. Ruby has been like a second mother to them ever since they were born. She's been there with me through everything...

I met her as a child, as an orphan that no other kids wanted to play with. Ruby extended me a great kindness, showed maturity beyond her years, by choosing to befriend the little red-headed orphan. We grew up together. Ruby was there for me as I was promoted to Beta and then Agent Luna for Pack DarkWood

She was there for me during my accident... she moved with me to Bloody Moon, leaving her own pack behind for the good of her friend.

She cared for my children in all the ways I could not during the five years of bedrest that

my

broken body was forced to endure.

And now she is leaving.

And I know that I can't go with her.

"There's a medical school far away, they've accepted me to come study with them. I've read their research reports. Cara, it's incredible, they are on the verge of a cure; I just know it!" Ruby's eyes are wide with excitement. I almost feel the excitement radiating off of her, except the sadness is too great for me to

overcome.

"A cure?" I ask.

"Yes! For Mia's condition! This school, they have the technology... the advancements they've made in such a short time. This is it, Cara, I just know it!"

My best friend sounds so certain, so sure that this is the right thing to do. That her leaving will directly help my daughter.

So I swallow my own pain, the shock of my own loss, and smile at Ruby. "That sounds amazing, Honey."

"It really and truly is amazing, Sweetheart," the sound of my nickname on her lips makes
