OOC this is set after he gets back from Aniwaya. Exact date not decided
Finding out that he hadn't been a slave in the pack had him feeling immensely guilty for ever leaving it. He'd wanted to be free, only to discover the only time he'd ever been a slave was in his own mind. Hadley still needed to work on being more courageous, on being less timid, but at least he understood that his life was his own now. It was incredible, how it felt to actually be free. Carefully Hadley moved towards the room that he lived in, nervous about needing a new one since he wasn't Sebastian's slave anymore. He didn't belong there.
No, that thought was wrong. He did belong. It was going to take a lot of work to get used to not thinking like a slave. Hadley gingerly pushed the door open, fingering the small flower carving he'd made for Selene. Looking down he saw the tiny female heaped on the ground, shaking with grief. Immense worry flooded through him. Forgetting that he didn't have the right to touch her Hadley knelt down, touching her shoulder gently. Selene? Hurt?
