---- And I hoped I'd never meet anyone like Leo again. This time, i accepted death much easily compared to when I first died. While I felt lightheaded, Leo spoke on the phone with my brother. I knew when I saw this, that he was doing this, that he was following the Oracle's instructions. I listened to them argue back and forth. Talk soon came to my ashes and where my remains should go. My brother insisted on keeping the ashes with my clan. Leo scoffed at that, saying, "Dream on. Even in death, she's mine." I found this argument useless, I had already been scattered into the mountains and forests by wind and there was nothing left of me remaining. No matter how capable they were, they couldn't possibly gather every last bit of my ashes again. Where I was buried didn't matter. What mattered ---- was that I was free. Feeling free, I waited for my last moments int his world. I logged in the couch and stared out at my favorite flowers outside. Whe suddenly, someone grabbed my hand. "Judy!" [heard Leo say. I looked up to find him looking at me in a daze. Looking down at my hand which he held, I realized, my had had become more solid to the sight. I stared in disbelief at myself. They could see me? What was happening? Then I looked up at Leo, who was clutching my hand tightly. The Oracle actually had such skills? The moment I fulfilled my final wish, Leo really could see me. He went mad, pulling me into a fierce embrace, as if trying to fuse me into his very body. "Judy, you're back. Please don't leave. Don't go, ---- okay? I love you," I heard him beg. I was a bit disoriented from all that was happening, but when I heard his words, I froze. Even though I had already suspected his feelings for me had changed, hearing the word "love" come from his mouth still stunned me. "You dare say you love me now?" I asked and immediately pushed him away. "But I don't love you anymore," I declared and Leo froze. His bright eyes welled up with tears. I paused at the sight. So a cold Alpha like Leo could cry, after all. And he looked just like everyone when he cried. My wolf trembled at the sight of his tears falling like rain. But what was the use of all of this? It was too late. "Tm already dead," I reminded him coldly. "No, you're not. You came back!" he said. He was clearly in denial.
