Chasing our Dreams

9

Today's the day I will be completely apart from my team.

Today's the day I will feel like I lost half of me once again. They all became my salvation. Alex may be my serenity and lifeline now but they're my original saviors.

"No matter where you go, I will always love you, Kate. Find someone that will love every piece of your soul, someone that does not belittle you and sees what you're capable of. Because you're worth it. You're the real deal, love. Be the best pack doctor alongside with your Alpha brother, okay? Also, thank you for everything. "

Kate hugged me tight, so tight that I can't even breathe. A hug that gives me so much warmth but strangles me at the same time. It's a good kind of hug though. Very sentimental. It's full of emotions. I managed to lightly laugh from her clinginess. Kate's the clingy one in the group. I will surely miss it.

I gave Kate a necklace with an elixir I chanted the whole night that will protect her from any harm. A necklace that will shield her if she will truthfully command the jewelry to do so. It's a one time use, therefore, I asked her to use it if it's really death situation which I hope she won't have in the future. But to be sure, I made the necklace.

I left Kate to pack her things and asked Ricardo to meet me in my laboratory. The moment he arrived, I have been staring at his puffy and reddish eyes. He's been crying for hours.

Before I could even speak, he hugged me tight. The same kind of hug I got from Kate. I mentally take note that my body will be crushed four times today. Ricardo sobbed like a little brother does when his big sister will leave him, a brother that is scared of being left behind, a brother that deep inside, truly loves his sister despite all the mean remarks and teases.

"To Gamma Ricardo, I can't be more proud that you're a gem to your pack.", I started speaking but stopped and yelped when he hugged me even tighter. He might not feel or know it, but my boobs are getting more squished in this thick gown I am wearing.

"You're not just a Gamma but also a doctor. A warrior and a healer. You're an asset to Crimson Pack. I'm sure your Dad is so proud of you. Always look on the brighter side, sweetheart, okay? Find your mate. Love her, pamper her, take care of her, protect her but most of all, heal her. Heal her from everything. But then, promise me,  that you will take care of yourself, I'm not with you anymore, take care of yourself until you meet Her. Thank you so much for everything, Ric."

It was very hard to make Ricardo calm down from crying. But I never got tired of being like his sister, his shoulder to cry on.

Finny introduced to me her mate. Her name is Veronica. Just like her name, she's beautiful. As beautiful as her mate, as beautiful as Finny. I'm glad that she's a warrior. I can't help but to admire that they totally fit together. Finny did not grew up as a warrior, he might be reliable to almost everything, but he's not a fighter, not a frontliner. However, his mate is.

Veronica is a warrior. He's the healer, she's the protector. It was amazing how they're fit for one another.

"Fin, protect your pack and protect your mate in your own way. Approach life with something worth your anticipation. Stay safe, hon. Please stay safe. Always be the bigger person, don't be impulsive in every decisions you make. I know you're quite independent but you have her on your wing now. You're together yet you're considered as one. Meet halfway. Can I expect that from you?"

Finny hugged me so tight as well. I've never received this kind of hug from him. It truly speaks that he's saying his farewell and that he'll see me after several years. I'm hoping I do, though.

I gave Veronica a short personal message too. I'm skeptical in being talkative to her because I'm not yet that acquianted to her but I did anyways.
