Chapter 115 Aftermath

• The wolves built a monument where Lena had disappeared.
• A simple stone marker. Her name carved deep. Dates of birth and sacrifice. Nothing fancy. Nothing elaborate. Just permanent proof that she’d existed and chosen to give that up.
• Alina visited it every day. Sat by the stone and talked to dirt that wouldn’t answer. Told her daughter about the settlement being rebuilt. About the alliance reforming. About Finn who couldn’t look at the monument without breaking.
