Chapter 0008
ZAIA.
It’s been four months since that day. I wish I could say life is perfect, but it’s far
from

1. it. I am still weak despite doing my best to remain healthy for my babies.
Mom knew someone who had helped us create fake IDs, and we had managed
to be
accepted into a new pack. She explained to the Alpha that my mate had rejected
me
and I feared for the lives of my children. Leaving out the fact I was the Luna of an
enemy Alpha.
We had little option, and I was grateful when we were accepted into the pack.
The
Whispering Mountain Pack is a rival pack to Sebastian’s.
Not only that, but it is also in an isolated location, only open to other packs on
rare
occasions. Since it doesn’t tie in with any large city areas, no one has any need
to
venture on to the pack territory.
Mom had chosen it for this reason. Plus, this is a pack where Sebastian would
never
think to look for me, if ever he decides to. The packs are sworn enemies.
The Alpha of this pack also has a reputation for opening the doors to his pack to
those who need a safety net.
In this way, he has won the loyalty of many.
I know it is risky, and sometimes I wonder what he would do if he found out our
truth, but we didn’t have any other choice.
We learned Sebastian was watching if I left the country, too..
I go by Zaia Walton now, taking on Mom’s maiden name. After all, even if people
didn’t know Sebastian’s wife’s name, everyone knows Hugh Toussaint, my father.
I found a job here at the local florist. It’s not much, but it’s enough to keep me
distracted from my sadness. I didn’t want to draw attention to myself by choosing
a
high-profile job, although there were many positions that would have worked
perfectly for me.
Mom also found a job at a small bridal boutique. We are both earning enough to
live comfortably enough, and we’ve managed to save some for when the babies
arrive.
e both
We excited and have already begun buying little titbits here and there, although I
decided to leave the babies genders a surprise.
everyone was We have happily blended in and although when we first came
here, wary of us; we are now a part of the pack and fit in as if we have been here
for many
years.

I know back at his pack, Sebastian is
happily living with Annalise. He’s
probably already forgotten about me
and removed every memory of me
from that house, but for me, I truly
loved him deeply and it isn’t as easy
to move on. Visit Novelxo.org to

I sigh heavily, looking at the chrysanthemums in my hand as I start to arrange
them in the bucket that I’ve already filled with water.
I place a hand on my swollen belly as I stand up again, sighing heavily.
“Careful there dear,”
I turn as the shop owner, Mrs Watson, enters from the back holding freshly cut
roses. She’s an elderly woman in her seventies.
“Oh, I’m alright, here — let me help you.” I say, walking over to assist her.

“I’ll handle these. You go get the
daffodils from the back. Do you know
every year, for the last five decades,
it’s my shop that gets the order from
the Alpha family to decorate the Pack
Hall for the New Year’s Eve Ball.” She
says proudly. Her white hair falls
around her face in tight curls and the
wrinkle lines that cover her face
speak of memories of a long life. 2

“That is amazing. Are we going for a
certain colour?” I ask, still assisting
her with the roses and helping them
over to the table, where she would
