They let Heather, me and dad go into the room. The room where my mom is laying in bed… Alive.

I can’t believe it. I can’t think about it, because if I do… If I let myself think about the fact my mom and dad have been alive, suffering, while we did nothing to help them.

While I sat back and changed everything about the pack that they loved so much. While I buried myself in guilt, hate and revenge. I don’t think I’ll be able to breathe.

When we walk into the room, she’s laying on the bed, staring at the wall. My teeth clench at the state she’s in. She’s so small, so weak, so… Broken.

My dad doesn’t try and get her attention, just walks up and gets into bed behind her. Pulling her body to his and just holding her.

Something he hasn’t been able to do, I’ve gathered.

Heather walks further in the room and walks in front of our mom’s face. “Mom?” She asks quietly. I stand by the

door and watch.

Mom slowly reaches out and cups Heather’s cheek, and Heather lets out a sob. “Are you okay?” Mom whispers and I shake my head.

She’s worried about Heather, when she’s the one she should be worried about.

Heather nods, “I’m fine, Mom.” She tells her and mom’s face looks relieved. “Good.” She whispers, before she falls back asleep.

I look over at dad, and he just continues to squeeze her. “I’ll let everyone know she’s okay.” I tell him and he nods. “Um. Maybe… Maybe I should do that.” Heather whispers. Standing up straighter and looking over at me.

I look down, then look up nodding at her. “Yeah.” I let her leave, and continue to stand next to the door, looking at my very much alive parents.

I shouldn’t even be here. Not after everything I did that caused the last two years to happen. After everything I said to my parents before everything happened. I don’t deserve for them to forgive me.

I turn around and walk out. Leaving them to reunite after everything they’ve been through.

I walk through the waiting room, and straight outside. I don’t expect anyone to follow me out, but then I hear the doors open behind me.

I feel a hand slowly slide into mine, and my eyes close as I look up at the sky. “You should go back inside.” I whisper.

Not able to look at her either. She deserves better than me. She always has.

“Griffy, you need to stay. You need to face all of this. Try and get past it.” She whispers, and my jaw ticks. She’s always been able to read my mind.

She knows I want to leave and pretend none of the last two years has happened.

“I don’t deserve to be here. I don’t deserve to be apart of them coming back. I don’t deserve you being nice to

me, and I definitely don’t deserve you, Aspen.” I finally look down into her eyes, and she smirks. “Well, pretty sure that last one is up to me.” She jokes, and I shake my head.

“Why are you even out here? I would have done it, Aspen. I would have punished you for breaking Hazel out.” I tell her and she looks down and squeezes my hand.

My heart beats a little harder just being next to her, and my wolf becomes a little stronger just being in her presence.

As soon as I decided to go to Heather’s pack and see for myself if what Aspen was saying was true, my wolf started becoming stronger than I’ve felt him in a very long time.

He still isn’t talking to me much, but I can feel that he’s changed his mind. He doesn’t want to leave me. Not at the moment anyway. I’m not sure how I feel about it.

I had decided that I was okay with him leaving. That I was okay with dying and not having to live this life anymore. And with them alive, I’m not sure if I deserve to become stronger. Everyone would just be better off if I wasn’t. Including the perfect girl still holding my hand.

“I know what you think, Griffon. I know you think you don’t deserve any of this, and you know what? You’re probably right. You don’t deserve to be here with them, with us… With me. But you know what we deserve?” She stops, and I watch as her face hardens and her eyes glare into mine.

“We deserve for you to try. For you to try and right the wrongs you’ve made. For you to fix the horrific changes you’ve made to the pack. For you to fight for the people who have always loved you even when we hated you. We deserve for you to do better. I want you to fight, not for what you think you don’t deserve, but for what we’re owed.” She squeezes my hand one more time, then let’s go and takes a step back.

She sighs, “I’ve always loved you, Griffon. Even when things went bad two years ago. Even when you locked me in that cell. Even when you put me on that stage. I still love you… But if you don’t stay and fix this. If you run away and try and pretend this isn’t happening. If you don’t try and fix things with all of us, then I won’t. You won’t deserve the grace I’ve always somehow found to give you, even when you didn’t know I was. You won’t deserve your parents coming back and you certainly won’t deserve me. I’m long past needing you, now I’m here because I want you. But if you don’t fix this, I won’t. I’ll shut off the part of me that has always loved you. It’s your decision, obviously… I just hope you choose the right side.” She says sternly, then turns around and walks back into the hospital.

Leaving me staring after her, with the weight of everything I’ve done, and the weight of what I need to do on my shoulders.

Can I even make things right?
