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.

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

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.

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!”
