Golden Glade Changing Things Up for Once

Eden listened carefully to the solemn admission. She understood each and every word, though in a light slightly different than that of Shalon. You don't have to apologize, she told her, I understand. Taking a deep breath, Eden looked away for a moment, but returned her gaze to explain what she meant, I was the heir to my birth pack. I left after we were attacked but I always swore I would avenge my mother. Now, even though I'm in a fantastic place with an amazing family to support me, I can't help but feel like I'm failing her; like she expected more of me. A soft sigh left her lips as she choked back her emotions. It wasn't often that she told the story of her mother -- an unpleasant woman with strict ways and a small heart -- but Shalon was bringing out something in Eden; something that she couldn't hide again.
