Liora Standing under the willow tree in the same white dress I wore to my own initiation, I watch as the Stormclaw refugees line up before us, their excitement filling the air. Ivory Fangs has grown because of them. Because they wanted a fresh start and a safe place away from Kazil and Caroline. All of this was thanks to Seth finally growing a backbone and standing up against Kazil too. My eyes scan the crowd, and I notice Seth instantly. His scars have healed up a lot more since we returned from Blood Moon. They are starting to fade, and I have a feeling it is because I am starting to forgive him. He did what he did to protect Stormclaw, and I can’t fault him for that anymore. It doesn’t stop me from being afraid to try again, though. “Welcome, everyone.” Maya steps forward, a smile on
