"Joe." Dad smiled formally and balanced the stuff in one hand to free the other hand to shake Lawrence's, "And my daughter, Zoe.""Nice to meet you both." He smiled. He was about to say more but his phone rang and upon seeing the caller ID he excused himself, "It's my new manager. Gotta take this. See you guys around."And just like that he unlocked the apartment right next to ours and slipped in while talking on his phone. "Maybe it will all be truly better." Dad sighed and turned to open the door of our apartment."Not bad." He commented and placed all the things from his hands on the kitchen island."Yeah. But not home." I sighed. I missed the place I grew up in, surrounded by woods. Where would I run when I needed to clear my mind, now?"But it can be." Dad came up to me and held my hands like he used to do when I would fidget anxiously and he would stop me by holding my hands.I nodded and hugged him, "Home is wherever you are." I told him and he hugged me back. I felt like I was

Xavier's POV"Where are you taking me?" Claire asked in a small voice but received no answer.The ride to my cabin was tense. My thoughts were jumbled up and she was fidgeting in her seat. A man was dead. I had mind-linked Luca to clean up that mess and find everything about that man as soon as possible. I wanted to know everything that was going on in the territories of these neighboring packs. Were my people in danger? What was Claire truly up to?When we pulled over, I silently led Claire inside and locked the door.My eyes stopped for a second at Zoe's portrait that I had painted here. The only reminder of the pure and destined emotions and passions that I had experienced."I missed this place. It has been so long since we were last here. Do you remember when you-" She started nostalgically but I interrupted her in a monotone,"Give me your purse." "Xavier?" She asked as if she was surprised that I was acting like this."Your purse. Now, Claire." I repeated.She opened her mouth

Zoe's POV"Dad, the lunch is in the fridge, warm it up when you want." I called out as I grabbed my coat from the hanger."You know, you didn't have to wake up so early to cook breakfast and lunch. I'm the one who taught you how to cook. I am quite capable of cooking for myself." Dad came from his room and gave me a hug."I know. But it doesn't hurt that you need rest and I wanted to do something for you." I kissed his cheek and grabbed my purse, making sure that I had my phone and every important thing with me."You have done so much for me already. Best of luck for the internship." Dad smiled at me as I opened the door to leave."I haven't done half as much as you've done for me. And, thank you. I hope my new bosses are better than the ones I've had in the past." I smiled as I left the apartment."I'll pray for you." He said and locked the door after me.I took a deep breath and walked towards the elevator. I wanted to hope for the best but given my history, I was expecting the worst

Xavier's POVI let Luca in and his worried voice sounded in my head through the mind-link,"Alpha, I'm afraid I've got seriously bad news." Got straight to the point.I let my hands through my hair and sighed. What was the worst that could happen after the way Claire had betrayed me?"Lay it on me, Luke." I ordered."Alpha. I found the identity of the man. He wasn't easy to find out, even for me. His name is David Malarkey. He works for the Alpha King's intelligence. He is a part of the elite squad working on questionable werewolf research, among other things.""How questionable are we talking about here? And what other things?" "Questionable like real wolf experiments. And other things like live witch experiments. That was the gist of what I was able to find out in this time frame. I am still on it. Looks like there is a huge dark pit of information where this came from. I've got a few guys working on it currently.""Luke, what was this man doing with Claire?""Alpha, I'm not exactly

Zoe's POVI was led through the lobbies and a few sets of stairs. Everyone seemed to make way for the man walking beside me. I was right, he was someone important here. He walked with grace and confidence like he owned the place and it reminded me of the way Xavier used to mingle with his pack. He was kind, sweet, and genuine with those people. Until he decided I wasn't the one for him."Penny for your thoughts? You seem to be lost in your mind." My companion smiled charmingly at me and I looked at him like I had just realized that he was walking with me as well."Yes, sorry. First day at work. What were you saying?" I asked after politely apologizing."First day, huh? I knew I hadn't seen you before. Don't worry. You are dressed for the job and if you are here, know that you deserve to be here." He supported me and I appreciated his words."Thank you." I nodded grateful for his words."You do know where you are right?" He leaned in conspiratorily and I got a whiff of his pinewood-sce

Xavier's POVI was overwhelmed by the thoughts of things Claire did. My Claire.Had she always been capable of this atrocities and I had been the blind one?But one thing I couldn't understand was that, why did she do it? What was the end goal? I had gone through the rest of the data, skipping past the rest of the video logs.I found no reasoning or the name of any authorities. Before taking any further steps I needed to figure out why had Claire done all this. And more importantly why was she back because after overhering her acquaintance, I was sure that she did not return just because she missed me.I walked back to the basement where I had her locked up.I noticed the empty chair that I had cuffed her to and panicked a little. "What the-" Something hit my head, hard, and I stumbled looking behind me."Claire?" I growled."I'm sorry, Xavier." She didn't sound apologetic when she threw a liquid at me that burned making me growl in pain on my left shoulder that I had used to protect

Zoe's POVAs it turned out, Laura Gates was the assisstent manager that I was supposed to intern for. All she told me was that I had been referred by a close friend and she hoped that I lived up to the refrence. I wondered how could the young Angelina be friends with the assisstent manager of the Golden Bells company. I guessed that I'd just ask her later. After all, we lived on the same floor now.Laura had asked Misha to give me a general tour of the event and everything that was expected of me before meeting her to see the primary client."So, now you tell me what you remember of everything that I told you." Misha stood with his hand on his hips waiting for my response after he had given me an hour-long tour."Alright," I took a deep breath and started counting on my fingers, "Tell me where I'm wrong." I asked and he nodded for me to resume."We are at the pack house of the Golden Eclipse Pack because Alpha's middle sister is getting married in a month." Mished nodded and urged me

Spike's POVI let Xavier block himself out but then he returned in my head.'What? You know you can't handle watching her get hurt. That's why you gave the reigns to me. What's with the return?' I asked annoyed."I need to hear this. I have to know this." He simply said.'Fine. I'll tell you the gist of it later. Now go back. You'll slow me down.' I said."I won't. I'll just be here. Do what needs to be done. I trust you. I should have trusted you all along." He confessed and I felt bad for him for the first time in a while. No matter what, no wolf deserve to be betrayed by their chosen mate the way Devereux did to Xavier.'Just feel free to block out if it gets too much.' I said before focusing on the tied up woman in front of me.~It had been a few long hours of me asking as nicely as I could before I got down to turly awful methods but all I had recieved in return was Lilac's fearful eyes combined with her vicious smirk.She was terrified of someone worse than me and she was doing

It took an hour and a lot of emotional blackmail from Aunt Julie to convince me to let Xavier come to Kansas City. The only reason I agreed was to test if he could keep his word. Nothing more, nothing less.After endless talk about mates, second chances, and the Moon Goddess, Aunt Julie smiled and patted my back. "I'll go tell him you need to talk. Be nice, okay?"I didn’t roll my eyes, though I wanted to. I respected her too much for that. Instead, I shook my head, knowing she had played me perfectly. She always did.If anyone had a right to push me, it was Aunt Julie. She had done more for my family than anyone. More than just a distant cousin of my dad or a housekeeper—she was family. The closest thing I had to a mother."Be nice, Princess." She gave me one last sweet smile before heading inside.I sighed, leaning against the hood of my car and fidgeting with my keychain. My fingers itched for something that wasn’t there—my father’s necklace. The one I had given him in the prison.

Zoe's POVI climbed the stairs, leaving Xavier in the garage. He needed time to calm down. My forgiveness—if it ever came—wouldn’t be immediate. That was his problem, not mine.He wanted to tell me something about Claire, probably to convince me I had nothing to worry about. But I didn’t care about her. I was done caring about him. His past didn’t matter to me anymore.The only thing that mattered was getting to those coordinates. I had no idea what I would find there, but it was my only lead. My mother left me that clue for a reason. I wouldn’t ignore it. A decade had passed. Anything could have changed. But I needed answers.I rushed through the house, grabbing only the essentials. Clothes, water, a flashlight, a knife. I packed quickly, like I had done this before. Because I had. Running was second nature now."She’s really doing this," Aunt Julie muttered from the kitchen doorway.I ignored her. Nothing to say.Xavier, however, had other plans. By the time I reached the garage, my

Zoe's POVI barely heard Xavier start talking. I knew he had been planning this speech since we got in the car two days ago."Zoe, I won’t pretend to understand your pain. I won’t insult you by saying I do. But I know how many times I’ve let you down." His voice was careful, like he was walking on thin ice."Don’t. Please." I turned away. I had dreamed of this moment so many times—Xavier realizing what a huge mistake he had made. But not like this. Not when I was barely holding myself together."Let me say this. You need to hear it, and I need to say it." He stepped closer, his hands resting lightly on my arms. Not trapping me. Just asking me to stay."Why?" My voice was bitter. My body tensed under his touch. I hated how my senses reacted to him now—too sharp, too raw. "You didn’t care about talking months ago.""Believe me or don’t, but I thought letting you go was the right choice. I wanted you to have a fresh start." Regret thickened his voice, but I didn’t care.I let out a short

Zoe's POV"What are you so happy about?" I asked Aunt Julie whose excitement was confusing me.Instead of answering right away, she gave me a nostalgic look, sat me down on the couch, and took my hands gently, like a mother would."Did your dad ever tell you that you have your mother's eyes?" she asked, her smile soft but sad.She didn’t wait for me to respond—probably because she already knew the answer, "Of course not. He did his best to remove any mention of her from his life. That was his way of dealing with his grief."What about my grief? I wanted to ask but I chose to listen.She was right, no one was allowed to talk about Mom in our house. I was never allowed to ask any questions. Aunt Julie tried her best to fill that hole in my life but for a ten-year-old girl, no one could replace her mother. I barely had any memories of her either. The psychiatrist had told Dad that it was a form of PTSD. I don't remember what the trauma exactly was, but apparently, it was deep enough for

Zoe's POVI ran to my room, grabbing everything from the box. My old laptop barely held together, but I powered it up and searched the coordinates. Then, I rushed outside to my broken car.Xavier and Aunt Julie followed as I yanked open the backseat door."You can't take that. It won’t even start," Xavier commented."It better. The coordinates are a two-day drive away," I muttered, then turned to him. "Key?" I held out my hand."Zoe—""Key. Now."He sighed, pulled the key from his pocket, and placed it in my palm. I grabbed it and turned without a thank you."You can't let her go alone," Aunt Julie protested."I'm not," Xavier assured, arms crossed as I tried to start the car. It didn’t even sputter.I kept turning the key, refusing to admit he was right. The car had been through too much. It wasn’t taking me anywhere.Aunt Julie whispered to Xavier, "How long do we wait?""You can wait inside. She won’t last long," he replied, knowing full well I could hear him."I heard that!" I sna

Zoe's POVI placed the envelope on the coffee table between us, staring at Xavier. "What are these?"His brows furrowed as he leaned forward, confusion flickering across his face. "A letter to you?""The numbers. What do they mean?" I resisted the urge to roll my eyes—or worse, to kiss the perplexed look off his face. He was trying not to upset me. I didn't know why he suddenly cared, but a small part of me was relieved he hadn’t mentioned his so-called chosen mate. Right now, it seemed like he only cared about me. I didn't want to let him in again, but deep down, I wasn’t sure if I had ever truly let him go."Looks like coordinates," he murmured, thinking out loud.I knew it. Snatching the envelope back, my fingers brushed against his, and for a brief moment, we both pretended not to feel anything."I can have the location checked. If you want," Xavier offered softly.I didn’t answer. Dahlia, my beast, was already debating with me.'Say yes,' she urged, practically purring."I won’t.

Xavier's POV"Weren't you informed not to call? The lines can be intercepted!" I whisper-yelled into the phone as soon as I was sure neither Aunt Julie nor Zoe could overhear."This one's fine, Sir. I made sure. And this is urgent." Jacob spoke in a hushed tone like he was afraid."Well?" I said expectantly, urging Jacob to resume."We were found. Some of our men work for your father and call him Alpha. I don't know how they found out." Jacob informed."Did they take Claire?" I asked expecting the worst."No. They tripped off an alarm I had planted around the area and I got a fifteen-minute headstart. I drugged Claire and took her before they could get us. They knew about the underground room." He told."Where are you now?""At the Shaw Safehouse. I cleaned up any evidence of the underground room being in use before we left. They won't know Claire was there." Jacob reassured me and then said, "But the bad news is, the cleanup team at Golden Eclipse didn't do as great of a job.""What d

The next morning, I was up and out of the house just as the dawn broke through the sky.I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, the same nightmare burned through my mind. I had waited for my wolf for so long, only to realize I would never transform like the others because I was wolfless.But now, I had a beast. Not a regular wolf, but an animal nonetheless. And I wanted to transform. I needed to know it had actually happened, that I wasn’t imagining it. Focusing on that need kept me distracted from my grief, kept me from falling apart over the loss of my father."Dahlia," I called out, dropping to my knees. I willed my bones to shift, for my skin to be covered in thin gray fur, for my canines to elongate and sharpen. But nothing happened.Dahlia tried to help me, pushing her strength into me, but it was useless. No matter how hard we tried, my body refused to transform.“UGH!” I screamed in frustration.I could talk to her. That was proof enough that I wasn’t wolfless anymore. Bu

[WARNING: This chapter contains details of gore and death. Proceed with caution.]Zoe's POVThat night, I slept in my old bed. Apparently, no one had known about our departure from Golden Eclipse or our arrival at Silver Moon. Xavier chose to stay, and Aunt Julie offered him my father’s room, but he refused. He knew I’d be furious if he stayed there. I blamed him for my father’s death, and honestly, so did he.Aunt Julie wanted to ask Xavier about his pack, but he’d been so quiet that she decided against it.I sat on my bed, staring at the contents of the wooden box. I looked at the pictures again, this time paying more attention to the details. I read the notes on the back of each one. Some were simple comments about the photo, while others were written in the same unfamiliar language as the bundle of papers and needed to be deciphered.It was all too much to process at once. The only good thing about opening the box so far was that it had distracted me from my grief, even if just for
