( On a phone call )

" I'm telling you Trevor, it has to be him, he's the spitting image of you and Maddie, I'm 90 percent sure he's your son Trent, and the time line matches, tomorrow is his Eighteenth birthday so please try to be here for his first shift, he was raised with humans without any knowledge of our kind so you'd have much to teach him and I'm sure he'd have questions as to where you've been all his life "

" No, I don't think I'm wrong Tre, not this time, no Red, and her team mates happened upon them close to our border, he was scared and running away from his human family because people called him a freak for being different, his friends ran away with him, he's returned them home and everything already, please be here "

" Okay, see you soon brother "

There's no way I could be wrong about this, Beau, his resemblance is too uncanny to not be my nephew, my younger brother Trevor has been looking for his pup so Eighteen long years, he's supposed to be my Beta but because he spends so much time away from the pack looking my best friend Ricko has been filling the gap and quite exemplary too, I do stay in touch with Trevor just to make sure he's doing well.

Maddie was his mate, when they met they both got caught up in the heat of the moment and mated, she got pregnant and after the pregnancy she began to withdraw and from Trevor and would leave home for periods of time and return, it was only when she was just starting to show she confessed to Trevor that she had been betrothed to another, she never told us whom was her betrothed and one day she disappeared, she waited until Trevor was with me discussing about what we could do and a peaceful way to settle the matter because she was scared for some reason, of her parents finding out and the man she was to mate with.

Trevor doubled over in pain and shouted " NO! MADISON! NO! " he howled through pain, she had somehow broken their bond without Trevor being there to accept, when we got to their house she was gone, no trace no scent, just gone.

I remember the whole scene as though it happened only yesterday, his pain and our confusion but then we figured she must have been visiting a Witch or Warlock all those times she was away from the pack, we questioned her maids and guards and they had no memory whatsoever of Maddie, it was as though she did not exist in their minds which meant whatever information they had on her prior movements were now gone, she planned it and she planned it well, her great escape.

My brother almost went mad with grief and even tried to k*ll himself more than once for weeks after she left, he holed himself up in his house in their room and almost went feral, until one night he had a dream where he said she was calling out and crying for him to save her and their pup, he would go out looking and come back empty handed, for years it's went on, it was and still is hard because she broke the bond before leaving he has no way of knowing if she's alive or if she has gone to the Goddess, that was his dark cloud, he began looking in hospitals, visiting different packs around the time she should have given birth but nothing and here we are Eighteen years later.

It truly is amazing the way life works, we've been searching for years not knowing if the pup was alive or not and one day he stumbles upon the very pack he belongs, I am glad that Roro was there because the others may have just let them pass by without incident and we may never have found him, ha-ha my little brother has a son! an heir! Goddess please let me be right about this.

*knock knock*

“ You know Red, this is your house so I don’t see the need for you to knock to come into my room “ the door pushes open “ I hope you listen to yourself speak Beau, YOUR ROOM, even if it is my house, this room is your territory for the time being, I am a person with respect so I will respect your space and privacy, plus what if I walk in and you’re just out of the shower or something, how awkward would that be?” “ for you or me? Cause I certainly have nothing to be ashamed of I assure you” “ you’re a d*ck, get your stuff and let’s go it’s time to head to the packhouse”
