They drove the last three miles in silence. But Peter kept thinking of his past.
Peter was sure that he would die that night, and after staring into Leon’s dead eyes, he welcomed it.
But he didn’t.
Because it was the same night that Luna Corrine led her Valkyries on a raid to end Torgen’s Rebellion. She had found him injured but alive in the cage. She brought him back to Winter with her.
After he woke up, Peter told her who he was, his parents, and what he had witnessed during his time with the rogues. That was when she explained Torgen, the politics of packs and alphas. She gave him a choice to stay with her and her family or be in the hospital while he recovered.
Having spent most of his life only in his parents' company, he chose the hospital. The days he spent recuperating piqued his interest in medicine and healing others.
