Chapter 108 : Building a New Life

*Soren*

I walked through the streets of Pomeni pack and unlike the last time we were here, when everything was crumbled and in ruins, the packland had really turned around.

We’d only been there for a couple of weeks, but already, it had completely transformed.

The land was lush and vibrant and that gave the Norwind survivors hope. I could see it in their faces, how happy and excited they were to have a new home. One that wasn’t completely destroyed by war and floods.

Pomeni had been in rough shape the last time we were here but with just a few weeks of TLC, it was well on the mend, and so were the Norwind survivors.

I stood in the doorway of my temporary home. With the large group we had, it only took a few days to get some temporary houses constructed. That way, they could focus on restoring the land before building permanent homes.

From my doorway, I could see the streets of the packland where the other Norwind survivors moved about in the streets.

They’d cleared away the knee-high weeds and cut the fields of grass so they were less wild. We’d repaired the roads and pulled up any plants growing through the cracks in the sidewalks.

They weren’t perfect and there were still cracks in the street and sidewalks but it was a major improvement to what it had been like when we arrived.

People walked through the streets easily now, smiling and greeting each other. They’d settled in well.

There were some foundations being laid for more permanent houses but they were still in progress and weren’t ready to live in yet. We did have enough temporary housing for everyone to have shelter from the bad weather.

I left my house and walked through the streets, listening to snippets of conversation.

“I can’t wait to start a garden. There is so much space here and we can really make it our own.”

“The kids want to set up a swimming area in the river. We’ll have to find a shallow spot where the current isn’t too strong.”

“Miss Mila wants us all in the town square this afternoon…”

I noticed that none of them talked about life in Norwind. Wherever I caught conversations, they talked about what they wanted to do with the Pomeni territory and the future.

I didn’t blame them for wanting to leave their old life behind.

It must have been a nightmare to look back on what Chandler had done, how their own pack members had betrayed them, twice, and how they were left to starve or be picked off.

They weren’t horrible memories for me but even I didn’t like to think back on it.

There was so much ahead of them to look forward to, why would they want to hold onto the past?

Ben ran up to me, a big smile on his face, eyes wide.

“Mr. Soren, let’s go! The ritual is about to start. We can’t be late.”

He kept running, waving his hand to beckon me along.

I picked up my pace and followed Ben toward the center of town. The street we were on ended in a roundabout with a large grassy field in the middle. In the center of the field was a beautiful marble fountain with a statue at the center.
