Chapter 170

• I hadn’t realized how close we had become during her time here, but every day, I found things that reminded me of her. Each funny moment was tinged with sadness, and I realized I would miss her until the day we were reunited again. Unfortunately, it was starting to look like that might not happen during this lifetime.
• No messages came from Sparkle Hollow or Killian after her departure. There were no threats of retribution, which was reassuring for the pack, but it saddened me that Sienna didn’t reach out. Even if it was only to let me know that she was safe, I would have taken that. It was clear that she wanted nothing to do with me. Everything we had been through together had been for nothing.
• After a week of no contact, I finally began to resign myself to her loss. Dylan had offered his help if I wanted to track her down and bring her back, but I had made my decision. I wouldn’t force her to return. Instead, I secluded myself in my cabin and mourned for what could have been.
