Sometimes the things you wanted the most were not the things you needed. Aurora Heights was everything Kyna had ever wished for, but once achieved, had left her in a strange state. She wouldn’t call it purgatory, but… It was similar. A shame kept her from bringing it up before, but she should have known – Greer’s heart was never different from her own, not when it really mattered.
And so Kyna Argyris, Greer Archer, their children, and the faithful wolves they’d gathered over the past several seasons, were going to depart from Riddle Heights for a time. How long? She was not sure. If nothing else, the travel would be a good experience for their brood.
Kyna gave one last look at the mountain, her heart clenching. But she had to go now. Her eyes burned a bit and she broke into a trot. “This way, everyone. There’s plenty left to see.”
Exit.
