Chapter 63
Alexander POV
(One Year Later)
I stood in front of the glass wall in my office with my tie loosened around my neck and a glass of scotch in my hand. My eyes almost dropping due to the exhaustion while I deny the luxury of rest to my body. I was mindlessly looking over the city that is covered in yellow lights to illuminate the place.
I heard the click of the door but didn’t bother to look back. “You need to come with me to the packhouse, it’s been two weeks since the last time you visited the packhouse. Pack members are growing worried about you.” I heard my Beta, Lucas, speak with frustration lacing his words.
“You can tell them, I’m alright. I don’t think I have time to be there today.” I told him in an emotionless voice.
“Uncle Zane is worried for you, Alex. You can’t just keep doing this to yourself.” He muttered in a soft voice which was very unlikely of him.
Chapter 64Zoey POVI hurried back to Sam’s place while the baby in my arms began crying. It was getting darker and I knew it’s not safe to be out at this hour with this three-month-old baby girl. The town is surrounded by woods and there are rumors that wolves reside there.Not a single person gets out of their house after nine in the evening to make sure they don’t become dinner of the wolves. None of the town residents have seen the wolves but have heard their howls. According to elders residing here for around twenty years, these wolves are feral with their blood-red eyes.The only person who has seen these wolves is Grandpa Steven. He is an eighty-year-old man living with his wife just beside Grillo’s. Their son died in an accident with his wife and unborn child. Ever since then, they shifted to this town and everyone calls him Grandpa.A smile forms on my lips as I remember the old man with the sweetest s
Chapter 65Alexander POVI sat in silence while I could feel Lucas hard stare at my side profile. I knew he was waiting for my answer but I had no idea how to answer his questions. “I asked you something, Alex,” Lucas said while turning his attention to the road.“I heard you the first time but I don’t think my answer would change anything. So, there is no need to answer your question.” I told him and took out my phone to tune him out.“That’s what you think but I beg to differ. It matters a lot, you and I both know, how much constant nightmares impact a person. If you are having nightmares, you can always tell me, Alex. I thought we were best friends, brothers and so much more. And you still don’t want to tell me? You should know, I won’t judge you.” Lucas muttered and I finally gazed at him.He was right, he is not only my Beta but also my brother and he won’t ever ju
Chapter 66Zoey POVI woke up with Emma crying loudly and checked that it was seven in the morning. I lifted the little baby girl in my arms and rocked her to silence her cries before placing her on the bed. I then grabbed a diaper and changed her diaper before picking up her again and making my way downstairs.I searched for baby milk formula but couldn’t find it and grew worried. Emma needed milk first thing in the morning or else she would wail loudly in hunger till you give her milk. When I couldn’t find the milk formula after rounding the kitchen twice, I decided to ask Sam to get one from the nearby store which was half an hour drive from here.“Sam, can you please come here?” I yelled for him to come into the kitchen.“Why are you screaming? Her cries are enough to make my ears bleed, I don’t need you to add more to my misery.” He said in an irritated voice.Just from his reply I knew, h
Chapter 67Sara POVFor a year, I have been searching for Alex’s mate non-stop but we never found her. The search has made me busy enough to not think about other things much but I still do think about Samson every day. I haven’t gotten enough time to allow myself to have a good cry but it’s somehow manageable. Everyone around me is very worried for Alex and I can understand why.Alex is their Alpha; their leader and he is close to loosing control. Most trackers would go back to their families once in a while. I, on the other hand, just visited the pack twice and that was for the new plans.Lucas and I have grown close just like before I left for three years. And it feels good to have my twin back. As for Alex, we all are hoping to find Zoey soon. Since we already searched all the cities, it was about time that we start looking in towns.I was currently in a city again, searching for Zoey. We still have few more plac
Chapter 68Alexander POVI woke up with sweat beads forming on my forehead while my breath came in uneven pants. My eyes on the other hand took in my surroundings while I tried to remind myself that it’s just a nightmare. ‘You there, Adrian?’ I asked in my head to connect with my wolf.‘I’m, Alex. Sorry, I can’t control these nightmares.’ He apologized.I shook my head and got up from the bed before making my way to the bathroom. ‘It’s not your fault. We are going to a township area tomorrow. I’m hoping it would cheer us up.’ I spoke while washing my face with the cold water.‘I hope so. It’s been a year since we felt like ourselves.’ He added while pacing in my head.‘I know and I’m trying to change that. Anyways, I’m going to check up on the pack.’ I reminded him and he retreated back in my mind with a nod.I decided to take a
Chapter 69Alexander POVI woke up from the ringing of my phone and my mind went numb. I didn’t wake up because of a nightmare but with the loud ringing of my phone. A small smile graced my lips as I thought about how this new setting was already helping me.I snapped out of my thoughts when my phone rang again and picked it up to see it was from the company. It took me an hour to get done with the call since there was a problem in the documents and they were to be changed before signing and I had to go through every line myself to make sure that nothing is left out.I stood up from my bed and made my way to take a shower while putting my phone on charge. The shower didn’t last long since I was hurrying a bit as we had to visit the town too and finalize a location before trying to buy that land without any problems.I was wearing my suit jacket when a knock resounded in my silent room. I made my way to the door while buttoning my grey s
Chapter 70Zoey POVI woke up from the doorbell ringing and looked beside me to see Emma sleeping peacefully. I shook my head and exited my bedroom before climbing down the stairs to open the door. All this while I kept trying to think who might be on the door? It was way too early for someone to visit me and nobody exactly visited Sam’s place because he is so closed off.I reached the threshold when the bell rang again and thought the person on the other side is quite impatient. I slowly opened the door with a vase held tight in my hand that I picked from the living room on my way. I was surprised when I came face to face with a shocked Emily who was staring at the vase with wide eyes.“My god, Em. You scared the living hell out of me. I thought it’s someone I don’t know.” I exclaimed while opening the door wide for her to enter.“I thought to give you a surprise but seems like I am the one who got
Chapter 71Alexander POVLucas accelerated the car way past the speed limit but I was not even paying attention to the speedometer because at this moment nothing mattered to me other than Zoey. Adrian has gone silent in my head because he can’t understand what to do just like me.Our instinct told us to protect her from everything and hide her from everyone around us but the rational part kept reminding me that she needs medical attention and I can’t just take her away. As I was busy staring at Zoey’s face, Lucas slammed the break of the car and I looked up to ask him what happened when he began speaking. “We are here, hurry.”I nodded without uttering a word and got out of the car with Zoey in my arms. Lucas followed my actions and we rushed inside the hospital while people around us paused whatever they were doing and stared at us.I rushed to the emergency care unit and called for a nurse with impatience. A woman in
