#Chapter 60: A Tearful Goodbye

Cara’s POV “But why? Why you leave us, Ruby?” I ask my best friend, deeply saddened by her news. “I hate to do it, Cara. But I must. I must go. For Mia.” Ruby says simply. “For Mia?” I ask, confused. How could Ruby leaving help Mia? Mia loves her Auntie Ruby. I imagine what it will be like to tell the kids of Auntie Ruby’s departure, and I feel sick. The children will be devastated, I’m sure of it. Ruby has been like a second mother to them ever since they were born. She’s been there with me through everything… I met her as a child, as an orphan that no other kids wanted to play with. Ruby extended me a great kindness, showed maturity beyond her years, by choosing to befriend the little red-headed orphan. We grew up together. Ruby was there for me as I was promoted to Beta and then Agent Luna for Pack DarkWood… She was there for me during my accident… she moved with me to BloodyMoon, leaving her own pack behind for the good of her friend. She cared for my children
