There comes a time in ones life that you learn that you cannot change the past or the future. You have to learn to understand while yes, you can make your own decisions your path has already been laid out for you..
Most of my decisions I have made in my life have been about doing what is right for the pack. Sure it is a honorable path but it's not the path I ever thought I would have to live. At 22, I would have assumed I would be out on the front line with the Moors not being a pack medic.

"Evelyn"
A little embarrassed about spacing out again my eyes drag to Reese.
"Sorry Reese."
Turning a little pink, it's not the first time he has caught me spacing out in the back office. It was another long day, everyone was rushing to put the finishing touches on the festivities for tonight. The Southland Alpha was bring back our graduating members and bringing our recruits. Which means "He" is coming back.
back over my shoulder to him as I quickly finish up my charts so I can leave for the day.
"Whats up Reesie pieces"
He groaned at me "Don't call me that Evie!"
"Nobody has called me that since 7th grade other than you." his voice betraying the annoyance he was trying to project.
Chuckling " That's beside the point Reese. It annoys the crap out of you so as your best friend it's my duty to do so."
The look he keeps giving me lets me know that he knows that i'm stalling on a particularly touchy subject. Swiping my loose hair back into my ponytail I blow out a soft breath.
"What do you want Reese you know I don't want to talk or think about it" My heart starts to restrict as memories start to trickle in before I could close them off.
"You can't avoid him forever Evie you know that right?"
Rolling my eyes in annoyance "Yes, I am quiet aware of the fact he is coming back."
" Yes, I know I won't be able to avoid him for ever. But he is the one that left me Reese." To no one in particular.
"He is the one that chose to leave and when he did he didn't even have the decency to tell me to my face or to say goodbye." swiping away tears from the corners of my eyes.
" I have the right to be upset and to want nothing to do with him. He made that choice for us" I turn away to walk out.
Calling out to me as I walk out the door "Think about it Evie, I really think you and him need to talk."
"Night Reese" turning toward the front door as I take my leave from this unwanted conversation.
"Give Claire a kiss for me, I'll see you later tonight Reese." Calling over my shoulder as I walked out.
