Clara had not stopped crying since they left Amber’s house. It wasn’t the quiet kind of crying either. It was so and her father was already getting frustrated . . “I want her gone!” she screamed, her voice cracking as she wiped at her tears angrily. “You have to do something, Father. You have to! Do something! Do something !” Liam kept his eyes forward as he drove. He had heard enough of her complaints already, but he knew better than to interrupt her when she was like this. “She embarrassed me!” Clara continued, her breathing was uneven, she was forcing it , she wanted to sound as pitiful as possible . “In front of everyone! And you’re just sitting there like nothing happened!” “I am not doing nothing,” Liam replied. “Calm down first so we can think properly, You have been crying since and it’s beginning to piss me off , Calm down and let me think ..” “I am pissing you off ? Oh my gosh! Dad, How could you say that ? !” she snapped. “I want action! And I want it now !” She turne

“When will she be back?” Rex asked Amber. There was something unsettling about all of this. He didn’t understand why Lily hadn’t at least mentioned that she would be away. They had been planning their trip, which was supposed to be the next day. It didn’t make sense that she would just leave without saying anything to him. “Can you at least tell me where she is?” Rex sighed. Amber took two deep breaths. She was trying her best to maintain her composure. Rex wasn’t someone she could easily lie to. “Rex… I have nothing to say to you.” “This is fishy… Is something wrong?” “Rex… let me remind you that Lily is my apprentice. She works for me. I can send her on errands whenever I choose, and there is no need for me to disclose anything to you. You are asking for too much…” “Too much? I just want to know Lily’s whereabouts…” “And how is that your problem? What is it with you always showing up here so early in the morning to pick Lily up for school? Aren’t you just her hockey c

Clara and Lustre were seated at the back garden behind the sport center , the same place they always came to whenever they wanted to talk without anyone listening in. There was a tray of untouched snacks between them, but neither of them cared enough to eat.Clara was too busy talking.“…And my father said he is going to handle it,” she said proudly, crossing her legs. “Amber already sent her , I saw them with some luggages…She is probably leaving, this is so good …Do you know what this means ? We get our men back … .”Lustre remained quiet for a moment, she was staring ahead, Clara frowned.“Did you hear what I said?”“I heard you.”“Then why are you acting like that? Do you not care about what I have just said ?”Lustre finally turned to her slowly.“Because you’re acting like we won…with her gone .”Clara blinked.“We did win…Lily is gone” “No, Clara. We didn’t.”That immediately irritated her, Clara rolled her eyes .“What is that supposed to mean?”Lustre leaned back against the

Amber kept both hands firmly on the steering wheel, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. The usual confidence she carried around like a second skin seemed to have disappeared. Her shoulders were tense, and her jaw remained clenched, she was replaying the goodbye with Lily over and over again.Maltilda sat in the passenger seat, staring out of the window.She did not say a word.That alone told Amber how upset she was.Normally, Maltilda could never stay silent for too long. She always had something to say, even in the most serious situations. But now she sat with her arms folded across her chest, her face unreadable.Amber exhaled slowly.“I’ll head to the Beta’s house first,” she said, breaking the silence. “I need to apologize on Lily’s behalf and try to smooth things over.”Maltilda turned her head slowly.“What was the real reason you sent her away?”Amber kept her eyes on the road.“What do you mean?”Maltilda gave her a long look.“I’m not a child, Amber.”Amber scoffed softly.“I

The sun had barely risen, and the compound was still unusually quiet. Most of the elders were gathered in the council hall, and the usual bustle around the pack house grounds had not yet begun but Amber was at the pack house this early because she needed to see Liam and speak to him .She parked her car near the eastern wing and stepped out quickly, clutching her leather medical bag against her side, she did not need it but she still took it to look the part and avoid questions on why she was here . .Her eyes were fixed on the council building.Liam had to come out eventually.She had spent the entire drive rehearsing what she was going to say to him.She was prepared to swallow her pride and apologize for Lily or even beg if she had to.She hated the idea, but if it meant keeping her daughter safe, then she would do it.Amber crossed her arms and leaned against her car, trying to remain patient.Minutes passed and Council members began leaving in pairs, talking in low voices as the
