IT IS HARD TO FIND WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAL WITHIN YOURSELF. Enola began searching for change in others. Doing so has freed her in ways she can't even begin to imagine. Doing so was a necessary piece of the life-you-want puzzle. Because all the energy she was using to try to avoid or deflect or delude her way into not acknowledging what she needed to heal or change or deal was being wasted at best and was actually keeping her from the life she wanted at worst. Which is why she was so used to all the suffering.
What is worth suffering for?
Everything is hard in some way. It is hard to be in the wrong relationship. It is hard to be in the right relationship. It is hard to be broke and miserable. It is hard to achieve your dreams. It is hard to be stuck in the middle, not really feeling anything at all. Everything is hard. But Enola soon realized that she chose her hard. She chose what is worth it. She did not choose whether or not she would suffer, but she did choose what she wanted to suffer for. Is it happiness? The past? The relationship that almost was but ultimately wasn't? Her fear? Her loneliness? Her lack of self worth? Everybody has one thing that they will continue to suffer for—that ultimately owns them, drives them, controls them at some visceral level. It is the pattern that everything is rooted in; it is the issue that crops up again and again. It is what she insatiably seeks, then runs away from, only to find she ran right into it.
For Enola, there was only one thing worth suffering for. Her daughter. Her daughter is what drove her to make their home safe again. Her daughter is what drove her to become the alpha of the crescent werewolves. But until then, Hayley would watch over the pack in New Orleans while she made the trip to visit her daughter with Klaus. Her leg subconsciously bounced up and down as they neared their location. Her heart clenched at the thought of holding her daughter in her arms.
"Is something on your mind, my love?" A sudden voice inquired.
Enola turned to Klaus. His eyes were still glued to the road as she shifted in the seat. She had yet to inform him of the new wedding details. Hayley had already called dibs on being the wedding planner, but there would be no wedding without the groom. She didn't know why she was so nervous to talk to him about it. Perhaps it was because this was last minute. Or perhaps she wasn't ready. She nearly scoffed out loud at the thought. She was more than ready to marry him. Perhaps she was worried he wouldn't want to marry her. She really needed to work on her communication. Now would be the perfect time to do so.
