But all he found was determination and finality. Eventually, he stood up in a daze and left the ward. He kept looking back as he walked away. I watched him go without a trace of longing in my gaze. … After that, Kingsley disappeared from my life completely, and he never returned. Zachary stayed by my side, taking care of my daughter and me. His attentiveness and kindness gradually helped me heal from the pain of the past.

They all trotted back to the mansion. They didn’t bother hanging their coats up in the foyer. They filed into the receiving room. Everyone was stone-cold silent. Lindsay was fighting back tears. “Okay,” Brock began. “The situation hasn’t changed. We still need to notify the cops and we’re fifteen miles outside of Dallas.” “There must be some way,” Lexi mumbled. “How?” Barry asked. “All the vehicles are disabled and we don’t have the parts we need to fix them.” “Maybe we missed something outside,” Lexi said. “It was dark out there. Maybe what we need is under our nose and we couldn’t see it.”

Even Zeus sent word that Stormclaw was ready to help if needed. But there was nothing. No scent trail that led anywhere useful. No signs of disturbance. Sarah had vanished into the forest like a ghost, and she’d taken Margaret with her. I stood in the command center, staring at the maps plastered across the walls. Red marks indicated searched areas. The red was spreading, but not fast enough. Every minute that passed was another minute Margaret was out there, who knows what Sarah is planning to do to her. Darius paced like a caged animal. Neither of us spoke. What was there to say? Our daughter… because that’s what Margaret was, regardles… was missing. Taken by someone unstable and dangerous

“Margaret Holloway. She led a movement to protect the farmland outside of town. She went missing on her way home from church. Never seen again—until a hiker found her bones in the woods.” My stomach twisted. The pack was in that farmland, why would she need to protect it? It has enough protection from the Hayes family. Unless something happened? But she went missing? I had expected Dusty Creek to be just another quiet, uneventful town. But this wasn’t just history—this was recent. These people had been murdered. Silenced. I looked back at the man. He was watching me, waiting for my reaction. I swallowed. “How do you know all of this?”

I don't know how I'm supposed to live without you. She cried so hard that the despair clinging to her could no longer be hidden. I smiled faintly. "Isn't that simple? "You still have Julian and the two boys. "The four of you can live happily as one big family." The Carter family was bankrupt, while the Scott family was falling apart. They truly were the perfect match.

Instead she once again looked at me with a pitiful expression “ I know you and my daughter don’t go together but I know that you are a kind child , my daughter is missing and I don’t think you will hide it from us , will you ? So in case you do know something please let us know , it might help us in the investigation “ I didn’t know what to say from what I heard it seems like Anna had went missing at the party at Tyler ‘s home , everyone went together but they separated once they reached the destination . According to Maria , Margaret told her that Anna was with her until midnight but then she couldn’t find her, she tried to call but Anna ‘s phone was switched off and she couldn’t reach it

"I'm sorry... I…" "Don't apologize, I'm proud of you. I have a mate," Occisor smiles and hugs Sasha. Mary just sighs. She is happy that Sasha can finally defend herself and doesn't keep begging for help. But she is sad, she never imagined that Margaret would have so much hatred for Occisor's mate. "Occisor," Mary draws his attention. "We have to go, the mission…" "What's the mission about?" "Children are disappearing, we need to find them. Margaret won't be going. She worked very hard."

she says, eyeing me over the rim of her teacup with a mischievous glint, “tell me again how you ended up joining a secret society run by Abigail Winchester, who, by the way, could stop traffic just by walking into a room?” I grin, already sensing where this is headed. “She’s not my type.” “Right,” Margo says, drawing the word out, “but then there's also Dr. Madison Petrosky, the human embodiment of a cardiac arrest—who just so happens to cause and treat them.” I chuckle, leaning back against the cushions and draping my arm across the back of the sofa. “This sounds like an interrogation.” “Oh, it’s not,” she says with faux innocence. “Just a woman trying to understand her fiancé’s motivations

“No. Evelyn is not connected by blood. Margaret documented that CLEARLY. Victor doesn’t know who the missing subject is.” Adrian exhaled…an ugly, trembling relief. Damian continued anyway. “But Margaret believed that whoever that missing child was… they would eventually surface. And that Victor would tear the world apart to find them.” Luca muttered, “Fantastic.” Elias rubbed his temple. “So there are two missing offspring?” “One confirmed,” Damian said. “One unknown.” Adrian’s voice was low, lethal. “So Victor hasn’t told Charlotte about the other.” “No,” Damian said. “And if she finds out, she’ll burn every trace of Margaret’s life looking for the truth.”

Unfortunately, the calm lasted only a few days before my phone rang. It was Karen Zimmer, my former across-the-hall neighbor. She yelled frantically, "Susan! Hurry back to your old apartment! Your sons are causing a huge scene downstairs!" My heart skipped a beat. Hadn't the old apartment already been sold? What were they doing there?
