"Today we suffered a loss, a friend to most of us and it's truly sad. It's by a broken heart that i announce that Nina has been murdered and her killer is none other than Sandra" he says making everyone gasp.

"Sandra, step forward"

Rita watched at a distance as Sandra stood infront of Taylor, the situation was nerve wracking as she never saw Taylor like this, the box in her hand fumbled lightly.

She listend as Taylor laid out Sandra's punishment.

        ◆━━━━━━◆❃◆━━━━━━◆

After Taylor and the pack had left the hall, Rita made her way to the pack gate, she smiled seeing Sandra.

"Where are you going from here?" She asks. Sandra shruggs.

"Might stay nearby or in france who knows"

"Sandra...can i ask a question?"

"You want to know why?" She asks. Rita nods.

Sandra smiles and touches her cheek.

"I don't know what you've been through in the past but i want to be your future...i see myself with you in my future and I'll do anything to make that happen...Rita...I love you"

"You...you love me?" She asks in disbelief.

Sandra nods smiling, the blood in her face all dried up.

"I do...with all my heart"

Rita blushes and nods.

"If i told you to wait for me...will you?"

"Of course"

Rita smiles and kisses her on the lips, the kiss wasn't a goodbye kiss to them but rather a see you later kiss.

"I'll be waiting"

"I'll be there sooner than you think"

Sandra laughs and hugs her. She heard about mates from the goddess but she found her one true love on her own.

Rita watches her leave, she smiles and heads back inside the pack lands. She admits she finds it odd that Sandra confessed her feelings to her and now she knows that their journey as a couple had not even started yet and Rita can't wait to see how it goes between the both of them.

She touches her lips and blushes.

"The journey of love is indeed a bumpy ride"
