"We won!" My wolf was excitedly jumping in my head.
"Not yet, sweetheart," I smiled while walking to the grand hall where the ceremony took place.
I had changed into my comfy pajamas and came out of my room. Sebastian wanted me to go to sleep because tomorrow was going to be a long day, but I needed to take a round of my pack house and say my goodbyes.
The grounds, the borders, where I gave hectic duties. The kitchen where I boiled noodles for myself.
Most of my friends had gone to sleep, but the ones who were on duty at the border, I met them to say my final goodbye.
Luckily, Jack was also on duty. He cried a little bit, but then I teased him about his mate, whom he found at the ceremony. At least a few of us had a happy ending.
I was genuinely happy for him.
Nah. I wasn't crying. These were tears of happiness. The joy I was feeling right now. Standing outside the grand hall where the ceremony had come to an end, and now there was nothing but darkness.
