Viona finally said goodbye to John. Later, she and Dominick returned to the Ferocious rogues' pack. In contrast, John was still in the Sunshine Forest. Seeing how painful it was for Viona hurt John too. Yet, he was relieved to see Viona could be with a new mate. Dominick seemed to care for Viona if it was judged by how he treated her.
It gave hope to John. As Viona, who had already lost her mate and pup, could find new happiness with another, he pondered if he could find someone else someday. He stared at the grave for the last time and then headed to the river.
It was dark as it was cloudy. John walked on the beach, kicked a pebble, then sat on the sand. That was when he saw someone taking a bath in the river. But, unfortunately, he only saw the back. It was a girl. The girl had short curly brown hair, and her back was white and spotless.
