Jade Fern Grove slay the nemean lion

perhaps, ingram agrees simply to parting ways.

she wanted to keep her true desires a secret from those in her pack ... out of a loyalty that ingram did not feel. felt perhaps once but was borne out of obsession.

but the committer of matricide was hard pressed to feel loyalty to anything except his own chaos; and even then it's been a shaky thing.

until ...and if, we meet again. he offers a dip of his head in parting, not wishing to linger here any longer.
