Surrender

[Panse's P.O.V]

But the people I owed the most to seemed to be Anton and Ellie. I deprived Anton of a mother's love from a young age, let him know that Edith was close but never seen, and I was always discriminating against Ellie. But I saw Edith's shadow in Ellie; she was as tough as Edith, never complaining about the difficulties of life.

I should have realized all of this earlier.

But it doesn't matter. At least, as my life drew to a close, I didn't turn an innocent human into a werewolf, and I secured Sproutless for my grandson. The rest, I would leave to Anton and Ellie.

The proudest achievement of my life was raising Anton; he was a great alpha.

The sky was still as blue as when I first arrived in the human world.
