10 Years After Destroying Abandonment, the Feral Champion Faces Her Biggest Challenge Yet...

*THIS IS PART 2* - If you haven't watched Part 1 of Sage's story, go watch it first! Link in comments.

Ten years after Sage Wildwood destroyed child abandonment and established the Universal Child Protection Act, she thought the fight was over. Wildwood Haven sanctuary housed 400 late shifter survivors. Laws protected pups from being abandoned for failing to shift on schedule. Cultural attitudes had shifted from viewing late shifters as defective to celebrating them as valuable. Sage had retired from active Champion work, focusing on family—her mate Asher, their eight-year-old twins River and Willow (both late shifters still waiting for their wolves), and teaching wilderness survival at the sanctuary. She believed she'd won. She was wrong.

Sage's scouts discovered another Abandonment Grove—active, current, with fresh bones from five pups murdered in the past six months. Eastern Highlands Pack, led by Alpha Brennan, had signed the Protection Act ten years ago and claimed they'd dissolved abandonment traditions. They lied. Brennan had simply moved child murder underground—maintaining a secret grove in remote territory where Council oversight wouldn't find it, abandoning late shifters while reporting zero to authorities, telling parents their children had "run away" when he'd actually killed them. Sage found seven-year-old Rowan Ashwood barely alive after three days in the grove, along with four dead pups Brennan had murdered. But investigating further revealed something worse: Brennan wasn't acting alone. There were seventeen active Abandonment Groves across twelve territories—all operating secretly, all in packs that claimed abandonment had ended. A network of Alphas coordinating to practice secret child murder despite laws prohibiting it. Combined, they'd murdered 200 pups in the ten years since the Protection Act supposedly ended abandonment.

Sage realized her mistake: she'd thought passing laws would be enough. She'd celebrated victory and stopped watching. Meanwhile, resistant Alphas had just moved child murder underground instead of stopping it. Laws alone don't end oppression—they require enforcement, oversight, Champions willing to keep searching for violations even after victory is declared. Sage returned to active Champion work, systematically dismantling all seventeen groves, prosecuting all twelve Alphas, and exposing the conspiracy. But the network went even deeper: financial records showed the Alphas were being paid by the "Genetic Integrity Foundation"—a shell organization funded by aristocratic Elder Families who believed late shifters represented "genetic decline." For 200 years, werewolf aristocracy had funded abandonment operations, eliminating an estimated 50,000 pups total through systematic eugenics disguised as "genetic conservation."

Sage destroyed not just the twelve-Alpha network but the aristocratic conspiracy funding them. Got the Elder Families Council disbanded and prosecuted. Established the Late Shifter Protection Bureau with permanent oversight preventing future networks. And crucially—trained her daughter River to take over as Late Shifter Advocate when Sage finally retired for real. Part 2 shows Sage learning that Champions can't just win and walk away—victory requires sustainable infrastructure, generational succession, and ongoing vigilance. It also shows her daughters' different paths: River becoming a primal wolf at nine and continuing Sage's mission, while Willow never shifts and proves that non-shifters are valuable through becoming the sanctuary's head healer. By age 48, Sage has truly won—not through defeating enemies, but through building systems strong enough to continue protecting late shifters after she retires. Her legacy isn't her power—it's the infrastructure that survives without her.
