Leith was finalizing the details for their trip back to Lunar Island. The ship used to transport the lycans here was still docked by a different pack and was being prepped for the return trip. They planned to bring Nat home, with a proper burial on their island. Everything felt too rushed. I’d hardly helped Jackson, and now I was leaving? Granted, we’d hosted the party and killed wendigos, but what if there were more? Their behavior wasn’t figured out yet. We still knew nothing.

I found my way to Jackson’s office. “Hope I’m not interrupting anything?”

He was sitting in his desk chair, spinning in circles, a book in his hands. He glanced up startled and came to an abrupt stop. “Nope! Just reading. Fantasy novels make me feel better about the realities of my life.”

I smiled and nodded in understanding. “Sorry to make your realities worse, but there’s definitely something going on with the wendigos. There’s just certain behaviors that don’t feel right.”

He sighed, and I saw the age on his face for a second. At only 25 years old, the stress was catching up to him. “Them taking the bait is definitely a cause for concern. They were organized, and it seemed like they know what they’re doing. That’s uncharacteristic. What if they’re some new breed? They could be mutations of the wendigos from the past?”

I sighed, “That probably makes more sense than them following a leader. Save some bodies for testing? I’m sure you can get something out of it. Compare it to the characteristics of a werewolf, I guess.”

“It’s not really your problem anymore, is it? With you going back to the island with the lycans.”

“I’m coming back, Jax.” I sat down in the chair across from him. “I’ll come back this time, I promise. This is nowhere near finished.” I thought of Gabby again. I needed to find out everything about the wendigos, to know how to eliminate them forever. I wanted to help Jackson through this and build back up our relationship. I didn’t want to abandon him again. I couldn’t. He stared at me for a while, not saying anything.

“I’m sorry about your pack members.”

I nodded, “Me too. Sebastian says I’ve got an entire pack waiting for me, but it’s still sad, you know. I failed them.”

“Terrible things happen everywhere, don’t they?” It felt like he was trying to say leaving fixed nothing. I wanted to say that it felt like terrible things only happened here, but that would be mean. I found a home when I left, and things fell apart when I returned. Maybe going to Lunar Island with Sebastian would be good.
