_Thalassa's POV_
As I lay there, contemplating the uncertain path ahead, my mind drifted to where I would go if Matteo indeed rejected me. Negotiating with him to let me stay in the Moonfire Pack seemed like a futile proposition.
As I dwelled on my uncertain future, a more pressing concern emerged – the inability to summon my wolf. The forest was filled with rogues and without the protection of my wolf, I would be in grave danger. Staying in the forest was not a viable option. I needed to secure a place of safety, but the question lingered – where could I go?
Returning to my old pack held its own set of dangers – punishment for my escape and the heartache of witnessing my ex-mate with my sister. I was sure they celebrated my absence, relieved to be free of what they deemed a hindrance.
