"Can we talk for a second?" Jacob says peaking his head around the back door.

Troye looks up and nods his head before turning to Lily. "We can continue this later, okay?"

Lily nods her head before walking past Jacob and into the house. Jacob walking over and takes Lily's place on the bench.

"My grandpa was a wild wolf," Jacob said. "He went wild when I was about ten. And I remember how upset my father was about it."

"Oh?"

Jacob looks over at Troye. "I don't want to be wild... you're right, I can't keep running from everything. But I don't want to lead this pack anymore."

"I though you loved this pack." Troye says.

"And I do, but I've done everything I can for them and there are still a ton more auctions that need to be ended."

Troye raises an eyebrow. "So then what?"

"I talked to the council and they said they could use someone like me to help with the liberations. I start as soon as I can. I already told Raven and she's perfectly fine with it so..."

He makes a sheepish smile. "What do you think?"

"Well it's not going wild," He says. "If this is something you really want to do.... I think it's perfectly fine and I'm right by your side one hundred percent."

Jacob smiles before grabbing Troye and pressing his lips against his forehead. "You're great you know that?"

"Yeah, I know." Troye says with a smile."

Raven was pacing back and fourth in her room whilst Lily and Ria were laying on her bed. Ria was laying on her stomach and then Lily was laying and Ria's back.

"Is she always like this?" Lily says.

"I'm as lost as you are kid, Jacob called her downstairs few hours ago and she came up here and started doing this."

Lily sat up. "Rave, when are you done pacing?"

Rave looked over at Lily as if she was a deer in the headlight. "Pacing, who's pacing.... I'm not pacing. Nooe, not pacing at all... why would I be pacing. It's that obvious huh?"

"Yeah." Lily and Ria said.

"Jacob just told Troye that he's leaving the pack to go help the council. That's all he had to do before he tells the whole pack his plan. Once that happens he'll give up his rights as alpha of the pack and which would make me the only alpha of this pack. I know I talk a big game about being an alpha but when it comes down to it I dont know what the hell I'm doing because I've always had Jacob at my side. Maybe I-."

"Rave," Ria says getting up from the bed and walking over to her. "Raven look at me."

She does.

"You," She says putting her hand on the side of Raven's face. "Are going to be fine alright. I've seen you take charge of this pack like its no ones business. You're just letting all those things your father said to you get to your head, alright."

"Yeah."

Ria kisses Raven on the lips and as she does Lily lets out a long string of 'aw's'. Raven rolls her eyes as the couple looks over at her.

"What," She says. "That was cute."

"Is this what it's going to be like to have a little sister," Raven says. "You constantly butting in places."

"Better get used to  it."

Both Ria and Lily laugh and as they do Raven looks at them. Not in an annoyed way but more of a content kind of way. When she was younger she didn't see her life turning out like this. Then again she didn't see herself making it past fifteen the way her dad treated her. 

"You okay," Ria says.

Raven smiles. "Yeah, and I think I'll be better than okay, come on we gotta get downstairs."

Jacob, Raven, Troye and Ria stood in front of both the original pack and some of the Westward pack that decided to stay. Both of the alpha's were nervous and nobody but Ria and Troye as well as Lily knew why. There was a lot of commotion until Jacob cleared his throat causing a hush to fall over everyone. 

"I know things like this aren't typical for someone like us ," Jacob says. "But I have some news to share with you. I talked with the council and they said they could use someone like me to help stop the auctions. Although that requires me to leave this pack as well as backing away from my role as your alpha." 

Everyone started to murmur but quickly stopped when Jacob opened his mouth again. 

"That being said, since Raven and I are an alpha pair she will now be your only alpha. Even after the war against the auctions... when I made this pack with the goal of not only ending the auctions but to bring all of your guys family together and I've already gotten one together," He looks over at Raven and Lily.

"But I still have many more and it's not that I don't care for any of you but I did my part by you. Now it's time to do my part by everyone else."

Raven started to wring her hands trying to figure out what to say. Ria noticed this and gripped the others hand and smiled at her. Raven returned the favor before turning to face the crowd. 

"My father never want me to be an alpha," Raven said. "And for a majority of my life I believed him, but it wasn't until this fight that I realized there is a reason why I am the way i am."

Raven looks over at Lily and Zayden. "It wasn't until I had a reason to fight I realized that I am an alpha, your alpha for a reason."

It was silent before Zayden started clapping. Soon after everyone joined in, all of them having big smiles on their faces. Lily ran up to her sister and tightly wrapped her arms around her waist.

Everything felt right.

"Do you really have to go," Raven said. "I mean we just got everyone back.... and what about mom?"

Zayden smiles. "Like Jacob I did my part here," He looks at his younger sisters. "I got you two together again. And now that I know both of you are alive... I'll come and see you again."

It was about an hour after their little celebration, now it was time to say goodbye. Zayden, Troye and, Jacob  all stood outside the pack house and in front of Raven.

"I'm gonna miss you Zay."

"And I'm gonna miss you too... pup."

Raven smiles, it had been awhile since she heard him call her that. It brought her back to when, in a way, he was her alpha. Zayden hugs Lily and nods his head towards Ria before heading down one of the many trails.

Now it was Jacob and Troye's turn. The male omega instantly jumps onto Raven and hugging her. Once he steps back Jacob and Raven look at each other as if it was for the last time.

"Damn is this really the end for us Jay?" She says in disbelief.

"Seems so."

She opens up her arms and pulls Jacob into a hug. "Keep an eye on that boy of yours. One auction may be down but there are still many more to go."

"I will, always."

They then pulls apart. Raven looks at the two of them before letting out a big sigh. "Get out over here," She says. "I told myself I wasnt going to cry and I intend to stick to that."

Jacob smiles. "Until next time..."

"Until next time."
