Born to be free

It was their first appearance after the so-called scandal. Nate knew it wasn't such a great piece of gossip, and Lara had come to terms with it.

Everyone knew she went to therapy. Whatever.

The wolves in the pack were understanding, some even amazed how she was doing her best to fit in, even asking for help from a doctor. Nate hadn't raised a brow, let alone said a word.

But they also knew that doctors weren't scary people, so they could rest assured their mommy would always return.

About the opinion of anyone else, Lara couldn't care less.
