It's been over twenty-four hours since Kyle went missing and even though neither Katie nor | could feel the bond
we shared with him stretching, Katie was becoming restless and worry was eatingaway as seconds ticked
into hours.
Although Alpha Tristan has been receiving calls from Black Fur Pack because he was needed back at the Pack, he
has refused to leaveand the kids behind. He and the little group of warriors that traveled down with us were
out all night searching for Kyle together with Raiden's men yet my son hasn't been found.
Where could he be? | cried to myself.
"Katie is watching, Relia. Please don't break down now. Kyle is missing but he is alright. | can sense that." Inara
consoled me.
"| just want to see him and hold him. He must be scared, Ina." | whimpered to my wolf.
| thought since Inara could sense Kyle, she'd be able to trace him and lead us to him but after so many failed
attempts, we've given up on that method.
"I still don't understand why | can't trace him, Relia. It's like he disappeared from the surface and there is

with a question.
After | realized that Kyle was missing, | told Katie that Raiden wanted to spend stwith him and added
that Raiden would bring Kyle back before nightfall... and that was last night.
"You said I'd have my turn to have fun with Dad before we leave his pack but | want to be with him and Kyle. Why
can't the three of us have fun together, Mom?" Katie expressed herself, crawling into my lap.
I pulled her closer, massaging her scalp as | rested my back against the headboard of the bed. "You don't want to

Katie stared into my eyes, shaking her head. "I want that, Mom but | know you aren't happy. Do you want to tell

anymore. Everyone in Raiden's pack and Black Fur already knows about my past.
But telling Katie about how Raiden hurtwas something | didn't want to do. I'd rather die with that story.
"Yes, I'm sad, Katie but this has nothing to do with Raiden and no, he isn't a bad person, Baby." | lied without
batting my lashes.
"Then why won't you stay with him? Families stay together, Mom and Kyle and | hate the idea of stepparents
even though | love Tristan." My daughter announced, causingto frown.
Stepparents? Since when exactly have these two been discussing Raiden being their father? When did they find

My daughter answered, "Hmm, Kyle kinda figured it out the first few days we spent here and | kinda followed

My eyes watered. They were not only smart. They were considerate as well and | failed to be a good mother to
them.
"I'm sorry, baby." | apologized, hugging my daughter.
Katie huggedback and we remained like that until the bedroom door opened to reveal Alpha Tristan, Hazel,
and Jessica. Katie broke free to run into Tristan's arms and he caught her swiftly.
"That's my favorite girl." Tristan cooed, earning a loud giggle from Katie. Despite how he related to Katie, | could
tell that his presence meant he had something to say to me. Soon, Tristan muttered to Katie, "Can you meet the
warriors outside and monitor them until I join you guys?"
"Gladly! Mom had been a boring company." Katie squealed and ran out of the room excitedly.
With Katie gone, the smile on Tristan's face fell and he gazed atsadly.
| uttered shakily, "Y-you don't know where he i-is, d-do you?"
Tristan shook his head, "No, we don't, Lia. But that's not why I'm."

"I'm staying, Lia... or Aurelia." Hazel blurted, stunning me.
With my shocked expression, | looked towards Jessica who snorted, "I'm not as nice as Hazel, Lia. I'm mad at you
and I'm only staying because Alpha Trustan believes you need protection... not that you can't defend yourself but
I'll stay just because of that." | burst into tears, mumbling how sorry | was to both women. While Hazel moved to

the care of my best friend and an angry Jessica.
Tristan's parting words towere whispered into my ear and it was a warning that would keep ringing in my
head for the next few days.
"No one can find out you're a white wolf, Lia. Keep your wolf and abilities a secret, especially from Raiden. You
can't trust him."
