Nova Peak Memories to move on

Though she didn't understand all of his words, she got the gist of it: he and his sister had been warriors, children of the alphas, in his home pack. Kieran had gained the respect and trust of his pack and was able to accept and vouch for newcomers to their border. Kaskara was reminded of herself in that, but what followed next from his tale was heartbreaking. A wolf whom he had vouched for had turned out to be bad; she was sure langer meant something worse than bad, but it held the same connotation.

That wolf had turned his world upside down, harming and taking things for himself, things that weren't his to take. Kaskara's face fell into a frown at the tale and her heart ached within her for the losses that Kieran had suffered at this wolf's paws. After a long moment of silence, she asked softly, "Did he hurt you by hurting your family?" The next question that whirled in her mind wasn't ready to be asked, but it was coming. She had a feeling that Kieran knew, too. "You can't blame yourself for what he did, Kieran. He deceived you, too, don't forget that."
