“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.“–Roy T.

Third Person POV

However, Kiya had one worry. How would she confront Neron once he realizes who she is? How does a werewolf deal with being in the same presence, let alone the same house, as their rejected mate? It couldn’t be easy, considering he was happy with someone else. Kiya was sure she felt nothing for her ex–mate but disgust and hatred.

What about her old family? ‘I’m sure they’ve forgotten all about me.‘ She thought to herself, reaching for a photo frame on her vanity.

The photo displays her and her adoptive family, smiling with uncontained happiness. Her mother and father surrounded her siblings and her, posing like those cliché family photos she’d seen on television. Cliché or not, it’s one of her most treasured photos. It made her smile to see, truly, what a family should be. It didn’t matter by blood, but by how she is better off, happier, healthier, and safer, without the blood family members in her life.

After packing the precious picture frame, she placed it in her travel bag and moved toward the door. She joined her family and friends in the dining hall for breakfast, filling her belly with the cooking she’ll miss terribly. Afterward, she let out Artemis for a quick run for the last time in the territory she held dear to her heart.

She would miss the mossy scent of the redwood trees, the crisp breeze combing through her white fur, and the rich earth beneath her paws. Her heart and mind wanted to treasure these last moments before embarking on the next stage of her life, for it would be a long time before she comes back home. It’s never been easy for Kiya to say goodbye. Homesickness became her best friend when she left for college for the first time. But, with Sapphire and Jacqueline at her side, it became easier to conquer as the days passed.

Having the people she loved at her side was more than enough. Not having to walk through the land that held all her traumatic memories alone is a gift she couldn’t repay.

Despite the anxiety that settled in the pit of her belly, she was ready.

An hour later, Kiya loaded her suitcases and bags into Alpha’s Anthony’s Toyota Sienna. He would stay with them for the night but would return to Garnet Moon the following morning. High–pitched whimpers and cries. caught her attention, looking to a wiggling Ximena in Luna Alesia’s arms, chubby arms grasping at the air to

reach her.

“I’ll miss you, pumpkin.” Kiya took the pre–toddler into her arms, planting a soft k*ss on her tiny forehead. Being away from her niece was the hardest part, they barely spent two weeks together since she returned, and now she is leaving her again. “Take care of your Mommy for me, okay? And don’t give her a headache.”

“Okay.” She muttered, rubbing her face into the crook of her neck. Alesia drew Kiya into a tight hug, bathing. her in her furnace–like warmth.
