“Why didn’t you tell me you’re a mermaid?”

“Why didn’t you tell me you’re a werewolf?”

“…Touché.”

The smell of burning wood and concrete encompassed the surrounding air. Violetta, Phoebe, and I made it out of the river and were walking toward where the packs are. We trembled under the chilly breeze, which did not make for a fun time since the three of us were barefoot and drenched from head to toe. Phoebe’s leg was injured with the bullet wound, so we supported her during our slow walk.

Guided by my powerful sense of smell, the scents of the wolves got stronger the closer we approached. I could smell the other avatars, and it brought me relief to know they were safe. We were all safe.

“Is your pack nice? Violetta asked, pushing some of her wet hair behind her ear. “They won’t eat me, right?”

“Most don’t like seafood, so you’re good.” I chuckled, even when she reached over and flicked my forehead. That laugh was needed. I saw a smirk etched on her face, even Phoebe’s. “There are two different packs here. One is mine and Phoebe’s, who are nice. The other one… well, are allies. Can’t say much about them.”

“Ah.”

Shuffling got louder and noises cleared to the conversation. As we advanced, I could make out the faces of many wolves of Garnet and Zircon Moon alike, including my friends. Our gang of friends is the first to notice us. Phoebe’s shout of pure relief tugged at my heart.

“Guys!” Sapphire screamed, ripping herself from Isaiah, running towards us. Everyone’s heads snapped in her direction, including the avatars who all had blankets or jackets around them. I noticed a few of them were snuggled with the warrior men and women. They found their mates!

‘Take care of Phoebe and Violetta first, please,” I say, handing the wet witch off to them. Phoebe wrapped her arms around Galen, who caught her before she fell.

“I missed you guys…” She muttered, resting her head on our friend’s chest. Galen, looking like he won the lottery, squeezed back.

“We missed you too! Get kidnapped again and I’m beating your asses.” He growled with a grin as Mikhail came over with a thick towel.

“Says the one who spent all night praying and crying for their safety.” He waggled his eyebrows, making Galen blush. I urged Violetta to head towards Jackie and the others to get taken care of. That just left me.
