I know, because I have someone watching over it, just in case they return.
But her phone was never switched on again, not a single call was made from it. The alimony money I promised to pay her monthly has been sitting in her bank account
untouched.
Her passport was not used, something I had made sure I’m notified about and she
did not even come to collect a divorce certificate.
It’s almost as if she just disappeared and didn’t want me to ever find her.
Was it so easy to let go of me, Zaia?
I knew from Annalise that even her father’s attempts to locate her had failed.
Annalise had complained how Zaia simply disappearing somewhere, had worried
their father and changed him into a man she didn’t recognise.
Although Annalise was always his favourite, he was deeply worried and refused to
stop searching for Zaia.
He had come to see me shortly after he learned what happened and he had not held
back his rage, telling me I was a good–for–nothing bastard. He had tried to get
Annalise to return to him, but she refused to obey him.
I sigh heavily, closing my eyes.
I had no option but to reject Zaia, but I had never expected her to disappear like this.
Where are you?
There are only a few packs that are near ours, and not many of them are allies… and I
have secretly had my men go search for her, but to no avail.
The fear that she may be taking shelter and risking herself by residing in an enemy
pack has been worrying me greatly.
That seems to be the only possible answer left that I can think of, but I hope if that is.
the case, she realises how dangerously wrong that can go.

For the first time since she left, the gut–wrenching guilt is becoming unbearable to
handle.
Rejected and then to have your child taken from you, how is she coping?
I scrub my hand down my face, trying to control my emotions, when there’s a frantic
knock on the door before it swings open to reveal one of my staff members.
“Alpha, your parents are back!” John says, his face pale.
Fuck!
I jump up from my seat. This is not good, they were not meant to be back for another
few months!
What am I going to tell them about Zaia?
I rush down the stairs, hoping the cook knew what she needed to do. “John, get
someone to clean the mansion and stock the fridge.” I command him.
“Understood Alpha!”
I barely go back there now. Every corner of the house reminds me of her. Memories
of us together…
“The car has pulled up.” John repeats something one of the guards tells him through
his earpiece.
Ever since I became Alpha, my parents would spend months away from the pack,
not having any responsibilities now that I handle all the pack and business affairs.
However, despite their sporadic trips and returns, it was Zaia who would have
everything in place, as well as a luxurious meal ready on the table to welcome them.
home.
She remembered everything and kept this pack in shape. She was always there
keeping everything organised.
I hurry down the stairs and rush outside, fixing my hair a little, or trying to, just in time to see the driver open the door for Dad.
Jai steps up beside me, standing with his back straight, chin up, shoulders squared

and feet apart. His hands are clasped behind his back and the rest of the staff who have stepped out to welcome them follow his lead.
Just how Dad likes it.
He’s standing there in a dark grey suit. His dark aura swirls around him and his eyes. are sharp as he scans the gardens of the Pack Hall
A man that stands for discipline, respect and power.
His cold eyes meet mine and I give him a small nod. He doesn’t acknowledge it though as Mom steps out of the car, thanking the driver for opening the door.
Mom is the opposite of Dad. She’s wearing a fuchsia pink summer dress with white flowers on it and matching white heels. On her head, she has a feather plume hat.
She now turns, hoisting her bag onto her wrist and lowers her shades.
“Is this my welcome?” She says, displeased.
But she then asks the one question I am truly dreading and have no answer to.
“Now where is my daughter–in–law? Only she knows how to give a proper welcome!”
