This has been my speculation of a story ending:
that her homeland was decimated by some nastiness. That may have been why her pack originally headed south but she was too young to remember.
They'll eventually get there and she'll discover tragically that there is nothing left for her at all -- she may even start to fade away. Here's the coin flip - Lawrence professes his love for her in the strongest terms; will that be enough to keep her from fading?
If it were a Western author writing the plot, I'd say yes - happy story ending .... but Eastern authors love those bittersweet moments of transience though so I'm not confident of that ending.
However, even if she stays with Lawrence and they live a happy life (like Tri-ring says, the journey is more important than the destination) - after the story ends at some point she'll be alone again and I would suppose at that point she'd choose to fade away ... their relationship passing into memory (rather like the story of Arwen and Aragorn).
All things are impermanent, the longer you live the more clear that becomes.
