Warning I don't own the Nightshade Series this is just my version of how the story should go!

Shay started sealing the Rift now that the decisions were made. The Rift didn't take long to seal and once it was sealed everyone got ready to go their separate ways. The pack of adults now followed Stephan's lead.

Adne quickly ran up to Ren and gave him a hug before leaving with Conner and the rest of the searchers. "It was nice to finally meet you and hope that you enjoy your life. Try to stay in contact with me if you can because you are the only family I have left. Brother, for now this is good bye."

Sabrine gave her friends all hugs and wishing them the best before leaving with Ethan and the searchers.

All that was left of the pack from Ren and Calla's pack was themselves; Nev, Mason, Bryn, Ansel, and Shay. Ren also thought that it would probably be best for him to walk away from the pack before Calla had a chance to speak about who she chose. He knew that in his heart no matter what he did Calla would never love him the way she loves Shay. Ren shifted and started running off but before he got too far Calla stopped him.

"Ren, you knew I would choose Shay over you didn't you? But you must know that I love you as well as him," Calla said.

Ren replied, "Calla, you love him more than me and that is fine. You don't have to explain yourself to me. Calla, just don't forget that I love you too."

"Ren, what I don't understand is why you are leaving because you are more than welcome to stay and be a part of the pack."

"Calla, I am an alpha. Two alpha males in one pack don't work. You of all should know that. Thank you for saving me when Emile tried to kill me."

"Ren, I will always save you if you need me too. You are my friend and I care about you and what happens to you. Don't ever forget that. Where do you plan on going and what do you plan on doing now that you don't have a pack?"

"I think that I will try and go off on my own for a while and see if there are any lone wolf guardians out there that need an alpha male to lead them and create a new pack. Also I hope that I can find love along the way. Also I will never forget that you care about me because I care about you too."

"Ren, just remember no matter where you go you still have friends here."

"Thanks Calla, I appreciate the friendship with the pack and I won't ever forget that I have friends here."

Calla stepped aside and let Ren go. She didn't know what else to say to him. As she watched Ren walk away her thoughts ran wild. What have I done…I had something great with Ren but I have something better with Shay. I really hope that Ren is going to be okay. She then trotted back over to Shay and the pack realizing she probably would have a lot of questions to answer. When she got to Shay, she shifted back to her human form.

"Where did Ren go?" asked Nev.

All eyes were on Calla as she spoke, "Ren left. He thinks by him being around it would complicate things with the pack. Two male alphas in a pack don't make things easy and he felt that it would be better to just leave."

"Did you even try to make him stay?" asked Mason.

"Yes but he didn't want to stay. He chose to go but he will be around because I told him he has friends here," explained Calla as a tear slid down her face.

Shay wrapped Calla in a hug and said, "That's all you can do. You tried to keep Ren around but he didn't want to stay. That is his problem not your problem anymore."

"Shay, I know but I love him. It may not be the type of love that we have but I still think I should have done more than what I did."

"Calla, you couldn't do any more than what you did. Don't beat yourself up over it."

Calla replied, "I will try not to beat myself up about Ren leaving."

Shay didn't say anything after that…he just held Calla tight. Shay just let his thoughts and emotions take over…Calla is mine and I don't have to worry about losing her to Ren. I just wish that she didn't feel so guilty about Ren leaving. Now I can take her home in peace.

Ansel looked around before asking, "Can we go home now?"

"Yes we can go home but home isn't going to be the same anymore," replied Calla then she turned to back to Shay. "Where are you going to stay now that the house is destroyed?"

"Well what about the houses on the compound that the keepers were going to give to the pack. My parents can find a place in town to live while you and I live in the completed house. We can have the other houses finished so that the rest of the pack can live on the compound with us."

"That is actually a very good idea Shay," replied Calla. "Everyone can go back to living in their parents houses for now and we will see about getting the other two houses finished even if we can't get help to finish them then we can finish them ourselves."

Nev asked, "How are we going to finish the houses ourselves? None of us has the skills for building houses."

"When I brought Ren to the searcher he had told me that what was left to be done on the other two houses that were built was the insides needed to be painted and designed. There were other houses that the keepers still wanted to build but those aren't needed."

"That works because most of us could do painting and design work, but what about electric and plumbing?" stated Mason.

"Those should be done but I can check because that is something we would have to leave to the experts, stated Shay."

"Okay that settles it. Let us all go home," said Calla.

The pack shifted and went their separate ways for the night. Once Calla and Shay made it to the compound they made their way into what was supposed to be Ren and Calla's house but it has now become her house to share with Shay.
