Whitefish River You're a catalyst to your happiness you know

Acheron seemed outwardly less upset than the girls, but she knew him well enough to know that it was most likely a defense mechanism because this was all so upsetting. She hated that she was hurting them with this information. Part of her wished she could have just never told them and let them go on living their lives without dropping this on them, but then they wouldn't be aware of the danger lurking out there; if something happened to them because they didn't know they should be careful, she would never forgive herself. She would honestly never forgive herself for all of this, but at least this guilt she could mostly live with because her children would be safer when outside of Kaistleoki. 

To Acheron's question, she gave him a small frown but answered: The two names you need to know are your father's name, Charon and his daughter, Hydra. She is his beta and holds a lot of power within the pack. She knew that regardless of what Charon might have wanted, it would have been Hydra's decision what actually happened with her and her children, which was why she had fled. That and she really had no choice in the end once Hydra learned the truth. 

Speedy turned to Spica next to answer her question. Sometimes, it's not quite that easy for some wolves, she started. She did often wonder if Charon was looking for them, at least to get a chance to meet his children, but she didn't dare wander far enough from Kaistleoki to be able to figure that out. He is the leader, and his pack is his family. It was probably easier for everyone for me to just leave and for them to try fix the mess that I made, she explained. She didn't know how else to answer the question. In a perfect world, he would have stood up for her. But at what price? Again, she wouldn't have let him chose her over the rest of his family. What happened between them shouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have been able to let him leave his entire family behind because of her; things were just better this way, even if it didn't feel that way to them right now. 

Syrma's second question made shame burn in her chest. Why had she betrayed them? She knew how it would turn out, and she knew it was wrong, yet it still happened. She had no real answer for her because she didn't quite know herself. Hormones had played a part, as well as her inexperience with the season in general, but she couldn't blame it all on that. On some level, she had made the choice, right? I don't know why, she finally answered. Sometimes, you just have to try and learn from the things you do wrong and then do better in the furure. She knew it wasn't a good enough answer, but she had no other answer for her. I'm really sorry it has to be this way, and I understand if you guys are upset with me. She looked between the three of them. I wish I could fix things, but I can't, and I'm sorry that you all have to suffer the consequences of my actions. She was more sorry for that than anything she had ever been sorry for in her entire life.
