Pack Mentality

They say that one's life is defined by moments, like scenes in a book, that stand out above all the rest of the slush that makes up a person's existence. Gwen had come to agree with this sentiment.

There was the moment when her parents abandoned her, then there was the moment Remus took her into his clan, there was the moment she pushed Sam Lander into a mud puddle and they became best-friends-for-life, and there was the moment she met Cait and Snow. What Gwen couldn't have foreseen, what she couldn't have prepared for, was the moment her awkward-self literally stumbled into the two women that would challenge everything she knew and believed about herself.

She wouldn't have guessed that they would break her in ways unimaginable and then they would fortify her against the world. Gwen was many things, practical was among them, but a dreamer was not. And the two women that made her drop her coffee on a hot summer day made her hope and dream like she never thought possible. They made her want, they made her need, and they made her believe in a little thing called love.
