Chapter 21 Painful Memories

• Scarlett sat on the edge of her bed in the inn, her mind heavy with the weight of her past. The room around her felt suffocating, and she longed for a breath of fresh air to clear her thoughts. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, trying to center herself and find a moment of peace amidst the storm of memories.
• As her mind quieted, she felt a gentle breeze sweep through the room, carrying with it the scent of wildflowers and the distant sound of birdsong. It transported her back to a few weeks ago before the tragedy, to a moment of innocence and joy.
• That time the moon was full and bright in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the dense forest. Scarlett sat by the fire, staring into the flames as her family members bustled around her, preparing for the night's festivities. It was the eve of the autumn harvest festival, and the entire Dark Valley Pack had gathered together to celebrate and give thanks for the bounty of the land.
