Alexis did not leave a room for three days. The only time she talk to anyone or even ate was when her best friend April came up to her room with food during meal times. One night she felt too cooped up and decided to go for a run. She let Shakira come forward in all her beautiful white Grace and ran until she couldn't run any further. She took a break and let Shakira cry also for what they had lost. Her mom and dad were the only people in her life that she had ever loved more than herself. She would have done anything to bring them back. She knew that it was their choice to fight with the rogues that crossed the borders because that is how their first pack had been finished off. I know that no one could have forced them to go into battle but, she still blames the Mountain of the Moon pack for letting her parents die. In her heart she hated them but, she mentally knew that her parents would have fought and their fate was to end that night at the pack borders. It's hard fighting with your heart and your mind at the same time and knowing her parents were right and would never have done anything different.
After Alexis came back to the house April's mom, Emile, asked, "how are you doing honey? I know you went for out for a run; did that help you out very much? I know you're going through a lot and you have a lot to process but, the reason your parents went there was to make sure you and all the rest of us would live a great life in a pack. I know that it's going to be hard to move away from here but, you can take as much or as little as you want to take with us. Your parents are the ones that decided for all of us to join the Mountain of the Moon pack to give us all a better life and to keep us safe."
At least I had three days to prepare to leave and could get some time to myself. My thoughts and my emotions are all over the place. I have always had my parents to turn to and for the first time in my life I am all alone in the world except for my best friend April and her parents. I know my parents trusted me in their custody but, it still didn't feel like I had anyone except for myself left. I decided to go to my room and just be alone for a while. I started going through the things that Mom and Dad had given me for special occasions and I know that these are definitely things that are going to go with me. I need to find a nice firm box to put these things in so they can't get ruined.
Axel is at home right now fighting with his wolf Asher about going back to the Mountain of the Moon pack because he missed Cassidy and her wolf Aurora. He wanted to get something for Cassidy so he went into town and went to the mall to the jewelry store. He found a platinum bracelet and had her name put on it and on the back he had it inscribed with, to Aurora the love of my life and my faded mate. He went back home after he got done going shopping and started packing but he wasn't sure what to pack or what to leave behind. He knew that whatever he needed he could always get later on. He was just in a hurry wanting to be back to the Mountain of the Moon pack so he could be with Cassidy.
Once they all got back they had already told everybody and the families to get prepared to leave within the next 3 to 4 days so that they could be ready to go to the pack. They were told to take anything that they needed and if they need anything else afterwards they can always get it after they get to the Mountain of the Moon pack. Everyone was told about Alexis's mom and dad and how they fought bravely and that they were buried now at Mountain of the Moon pack where they could visit them there. Everyone in the group we're very close with Alexis's parents.
