We hunted for a couple of hours, Jasper and Emmett never letting me out of their sight or reach. Their thoughts kept me focussed on staying away from any humans. The concern that I would break away and try to kill someone was overwhelming, there was no way that I could let them or myself down.

Once the hunger I felt was sated, we turned and ran towards Denali. The journey would be long, but nowhere near the one that this chain of events had made necessary. I hoped that the rest of my family could forgive me for my actions, for bringing this to pass, and that we could reclaim our family and live in peace.
