Chapter 314
“Growing every day,” I say, smiling down at my stomach. “So, how are you doing, Jocelyn?”
“I’m good. I’m really good. I went to the hospital today and Dr. Felicity took x–rays again. I think Cassidy is over–extending herself a bit, trying to heal me. Dr. Felicity got Dr. Caspian on a video call and we looked over my x–rays. I’m healing much faster than he expected.”
“That’s wonderful. How long does he think it will be before you are completely healed?”
“He thinks maybe a week or two. He said that, depending on what happens with the birth of your sister’s daughter, he may come back and do the surgery on my other leg/so that at least from the waist down, I could be healed.”
“Oh, Jocelyn. That’s such great news!” I say, leaning over to hug her.
“You know, I didn’t realize how much pain I was in. I guess my body just became accustomed to it, but now, having so little pain compared to what it was, I realize how much better I’m going to feel when all of these surgeries are done.”
“I’m so happy for you, Jocelyn,” I say, smiling at her.
She reaches over and takes my hand, squeezing it. “Thank you, Sophie. I know I’ve said it before, but I don’t know how I can ever thank you for what you’ve done and continue to do for me.

“Your healing is enough thanks for me, Jocelyn.”
She looks at me a moment. “They were right, you know.”
“Who was right about what?” I ask.
“You really are worthy of being called The Legend.”
The women around me chuckle as I huff.
“Did I say something funny?” Jocelyn asks, looking around.
“Our Luna is the only one who doesn’t seem to realize how much she deserves the title she was given.”
Jocelyn turns back to me. “Really, Sophie? You don’t see it?”
I shrug. “I’m just doing what anyone else would do,” I say.
“No one else has done what you’ve done, Sophie. No one. And let’s be honest, most people would have kicked me out the minute I arrived with the massive chip I had on my shoulder.
I shrug. I don’t really feel like I’ve done anything, except what was right. Thankfully, I have a supportive mate, someone who adores me and encourages me to be the best that I can be.
I spend another hour with everyone, enjoying the peacefulness and the gentle laughter that has started to come in this place. I can see that the women here have bonded together in their grief, supporting each other, being there when one of them breaks down, becoming a village that takes care of the pups.

When I return to the packhouse, I let Hunter know that I want all of us to start taking turns visiting the Survivor Center. At least one of the ranked members should go be every day to support our pack members and most especially, the pups. I work with Kinsley and set up a schedule, knowing that I plan to go more than once a week and so does she. When we mention it to Penny, she tells us that she’s already going by at least once a day, checking in to make sure the pups feel supported.
“What if we started bringing the pups to the packhouse?” Penny asks.
“I’m not sure they’re ready for that yet,” Kinsley says.
“Not all of them are, you’re right, but I think some of them are. They either miss their friends, or they miss the companionship of being with other wolves. Some of the pups are old enough to shift but they haven‘ t since their fathers died,” Penny says.
“Maybe dinner a couple times a week, Pen. And then we could take them for a run afterward. Well, you can, Kinsley and I can’t,” I say, gesturing to my stomach.
“True,” Penny says, smiling.

“Ohhh, and let’s invite all of them to your birthday party, Penny,” Kinsley says, turning to me. “I can begin planning her party while you‘ re gone next weekend, Sophie.”
