Chapter 0009
*Oh, a theme! That does sound exciting.” I say, smiling, but no matter who I talk
to or
how I cccupy myself, the gaping hole left by Sebastian’s rejection forever
remains.
“Violet, so we will bring out the Bellflowers, wisteria and geraniums, oh I have at
lovely stock of hyacinths.” She continues. “It’s a big event. Alphas and guests
from
other packs will attend.”
I listen quietly, wondering if there will even be a slight chance of someone we
know
coming. I would need to find out and if there is, then Mom and I will need to make
sure no one sees us.
My phone begins ringing and I take it out, UNKNOWN NUMBER I look at Ms.
Watson.
“Oh excuse me, I need to take this.”
“Go ahead dear, after lunch perhaps you can help me with the arrangements for
the
ball.”
“Of course!” I say as I step out onto the cobbled streets.
The Whispering Mountain Pack is a breathtaking place. Unlike Dark Hollow Falls,
it
is filled with nature and beautiful scenery. With a stunning backdrop of snowy
mountains and a waterfall that could be seen from afar.
“Hello?” I answer the call.
“Hi, how are you?” Valerie whispers.
It’s always lovely to receive a call from her. I don’t call her just in case someone

picks up the phone, but when she gets the chance, she does call. Mainly to make

visit. Is everything alright, you don’t usually call during the day?” I ask. She
doesn’t sound like her usual self.
“I am… but we have a slight issue.” She murmurs, keeping her voice low.
My heart thumps as my nerves begin to get the better of me.
“What is it?”
“Jai somehow saw the pregnancy report, and-“
“What!” Fear envelops me and I grip the low fence that runs along the side of the
flower shop.
“Calm down, Zaia, I’ve handled it. He told Sebastian, but I managed to lie and
said to him that you miscarried because of the rejection.”
My eyes widen. “You… what did he say?” I don’t know why, but I want to know.
“Well, he looked more upset than I thought he would.”

“I think so, but Jai didn’t.”
I close my eyes, feeling sick as she continues. “But don’t worry, I’ve talked to him
and he understands.”
“A-alright,” I say, hearing footsteps I tense. “Well, I have to go, but please call me
again when you have more time.”
“I will. Sebastian’s parents have just returned. This will be interesting.”
“Thank you Val, for everything.” I say, truly grateful for having such an amazing
friend.
“Never thank me. What are friends for?” She says before she hangs up and I
frown.

tall as
Sebastian.
He fills out his shirt well, the fabric straining against his muscles.
Alpha Atticus Payne is 26 years old, single and an Alpha that his entire pack
loves.
He is nothing like how Sebastian or his father portrayed him.
