She had lived a life that wasn't her own. Every decision was made for her. At the end of the day though, she was still the one with the blood on her hands. To have the weight of abuse on your back is miserable. Especially when you're falling in love...
I wish I could've said bye to Dr. Azur before I left. She was too much of a wreck to understand me. I think she's in good hands with her mate though. I don't know what happened between them but, he loves her.
He agreed to let me go into his woods. He wanted to send some of his men with me but, I turned him down.
I left a note in my house for my mother to find. I've decided that I've forgiven her. It's mostly because I want nothing to do with her. I wanted to erase any mark she may have left on me. I want to find out who I am without her influence and I can't do that if I'm still carrying my anger for her.
As for Yanis, I try my best not to think of her. Her mark left a hideous scar on me. I love her though. I love her despite what she did. I know she was scared for me. Still, I am overcome with my anger for her. Worst of all I feel terrible guilt for leaving her.
I stare at the woods in front of me, they're unnaturally quiet and surely filled with danger. The trees are unimaginably tall and foreboding. I can't see six feet into the thicket with its heavy darkness. I know my dad is in there somewhere though. I take a deep breath before taking my first step into the woods.
Sometimes an end is only a beginning.
