Since Haydée had taken over as Leader of Ethne, the girl has been inundated with a seemingly endless stream of tasks. Between touring Boreas, seeking Gavroche II, and making sure that Bellamy had the medical treatment she needs, the young girl has barely had time to keep her head on straight. When she was in the north, she had visited Avalon in the hopes of bringing the news of their father’s death to her brother, Alexander, in person but had found out that he was no longer there. Worry for her missing sibling has followed her but, with the pack needing so much of her attention, Hay has had no time to go out and search of him.

In her den behind the waterfall, the girl sorts various books, gently placing them on the wooden shelves that Bay had lovingly made for her, when a call reaches her ears. Head swivels around in shock and the girl immediately drops all of the books that are in her arms so that she can quickly, race to the summons. Excitement, worry, and hope flare to life like a series of supernovas, warming her chest and burning through her body. It has been months since Haydée has seen her brother but, as his form appears through the trees, she knows he is home.

Haydée does not stop, or even slow, as she barrels toward her much taller brother, tears suddenly biting at her emerald eyes as she streaks toward him. Without a word, she slams into him, rocking them both as she huddles into his chest and allows the tears to quietly fall. With the pelt of their father’s murderer watching over them, the girl hugs Alex with everything she has, wishing that she never had to let him go. Soft voice wobbly says, “You’re home. Alex… you’re home.” The tears flow freely.
