Alone on the Isle, Ines set about doing what she knew best: the next thing. There was no use grieving for the family she couldn't find, or the ones who wouldn't stay. And, if she'd found mom and dad, what would she have said, anyway? The days of giving them a piece of her mind already seemed distant, childish things.
At the end of matters, they had left her and Matteo in charge of the Isle, and it remained her charge. It wasn't her fault it had crumbled, after all, and now that the cowboys were gone, she could finally start making the land into something admirable again.
Surely it couldn't be that hard, right?
Right. And first things first. She'd build from the ground up, starting by marking her claim. And so she set about the borders, keeping one eye open for any passersby she might share news about the Isle with, neighbours she might meet -- or even wolves she might try her paw at recruiting.
