Odessa didn’t die. I’m disappointed.

However, because of her ghastly injuries, she is confined to a hospital bed. For how long? I don’t know. Visiting her at the hospital was out of the question, but I got my news from Raina. According to the doctors, her recovery will be slow, Ariel, her wolf, abandoned her and took her rapid healing ability with her.

We humans rely on our wolves to heal us quickly, especially in battle. Without Ariel, Odessa will heal a little faster than a normal human, but not as fast as a normal werewolf

I can’t say that I feel had for her. Searching for pity was like searching for a needle in a haystack; it was impossible. I felt nothing. In contrast, my happiness soared when I heard about her condition. As f*cked up as it is, she deserved it. Everything.

Odessa made my stay at Zircon Moon hell. It’s hard to find pity for someone who tried to kill me twice, sided with the enemy and ruined friendships. Her malice cost her, but as she fell into madness, she took me with

her.

Her horrid actions were for Neron’s love and attention–a privilege she felt robbed of. While I had no Intention of taking the Alpha from her, Odessa saw me as a threat. A threat needed to be eliminated.

It’s a shame. Sometimes, I think that if life didn’t throw us a curveball, we could’ve been friends. That dream will never come to fruition–it died before it had a chance at life. Odessa was relentless with her pursuits of my death.

But I have no regrets for what I’ve done. Payback’s a bitch, after all. She’s trash and will never be someone’s treasure again. But Selene has her ways of mending.

I have confidence that she’ll know what to do with Odessa, Our fates are ours to choose.

Many heard Odessa’s confession. Exposed in the front yard, her screeches of insanity and hatred carried with it her sins. The heavens heard her own up to all her bullshit. My friends, my parents and Neron heard everything! Our sensitivity to volume picked up her voice, so I have no doubts all of Zircon heard her..

Whether or not there was underlying guilt is not the issue. Her Instability sealed her fate. My assault simply propelled it forward.

However, I won’t be seeing what is to come to her.

Today marks the day that I’m leaving Zircon Moon for good.

There is too much pain for me to handle; too much anger and sadness. The foundation I’ve taken years to strengthen crackled and crumbled underneath my feet, plunging my body and mind into a sea of darkness and mental torment.
