After Noah landed in Manchester, he knew it was only a matter of time before Sebastian followed his tracks.
And once he did, he would come and drag him back to Italy.
The times weren't as tumultuous as they were in the past five years and most of the issues had been taken care of, so he was free but not completely. There was still a rather pressing issue that needed completion before he could tell himself that he was a free man and no longer had the shackles of war weighing him down and threatening his happiness.
The negotiation with the red moon pack.
During the span of five years, Noah was able to defeat the elders, get rid of that circle, and claim absolute dominion over his pack.
That took him no more than two years, since weeding the roots of those elders was no small task, and they did not hesitate to fight back.
It was a tough battle, but he came out victorious, ending the life of his father with his own hand because his father refused to surrender or be held in custody.
