Crispen We walk in silence, with the mountains of the Silvamater behind us. I still hold the book in my hand and the hand of my wife in the other. I look around at the ones who came with us. So many people I'd barely ever said more than a few words to were with us. We were a new pack, one that was broken. Rose carried Bri in her arms. I'd never seen her before in my life and thought maybe she was a girl from the Vitalux pack. It didn't really matter at this point. We are now all just refugees, some of us even orphans. I looked and saw Logan walking alongside Mason. He was so angry with me, and I didn't really understand why, but I tried to remember that he'd just gone through a tragedy beyond the capability of expressing through words. I'd lost my father, sure, but I never watched him die
