River
Gray Shadows Pack felt different the moment we stepped onto the land.
Not in a bad way—just… heavier. Like the air knew we weren’t the same people who had left. Like the trees whispered about Gods and prophecies and the child sleeping in my arms.
Daniel stirred against my chest, tiny fingers curling into my shirt. Damian brushed his hand down my back, grounding me the way only he could.
Mom and Dad went back to Aqua Rain Pack. Even though my brothers were there, keeping watch over the pack, Dad said he needed to get back. Orrin and Anja also returned to Scarlett Nightwalkers Pack. Damian said that his Aunt Lilly and Uncle Bastian were perfectly capable of running things for a while, but his grandparents were needed. I was sad to see them all go, but I know they’ll return soon.
