Her sobs were ragged, but it was the screams that broke me We crumpled to the floor as she screamed her pain, and all I could do was hold her and allow her to release it. She wouldn’t listen to me until she did. It wasn’t until I heard the door shut that I realized Rowan had left.

I grabbed her around her shoulders, and under her legs and picked her up. I carried her to my bedroom and laid her on my bed. And then I did the only thing I could. I pulled the phone out of the lockbox and I dialed my father.

It was late, but I could only hope he would answer. I slid in behind my mother and I waited for the ringing to stop I closed my eyes in defeat when the call went unanswered and his voice played in my ear.

“Hi, you have reached Alpha Gavin Maclean. I’m currently busy, but I will get back to you.” My mothers screamed again as she heard my father’s voice.

“He’s gone.” Her scream shook the sliding glass door. I hung up the phone and called back. “I told you he was gone, baby.” She grabbed a pillow and screamed into it again. I nearly cried out in relief when I heard the call

connect.

“Hi.” He started, but I think my mom’s sobs stopped him mid sentence.

“Stop calling him. He won’t answer.” Her voice wobbled. “just got him back and now he’s gone.” Her popped open when I handed her the phone.

“My love?” My father’s calm voice came over the speaker and my mother froze.

“How?” she choked out. She looked to me and I saw the confusion and ache there. “Please tell me this is real.” Herr voice was a whisper, and I could only nod. “Gav?”

“Hey baby. I’ve missed your voice,” He answered and I could see the shudder run through my mother’s body.

“You’re dead.” She pulled the phone away. “You’re dead.” I watched as she clicked the video call button and she waited. “Please don’t be dead.” She watched the call connect and my father’s face filled the screen. She dropped the phone and covered her eyes as she sobbed harder.

“Baby? Look at me.” My father’s voice was muffled, the phone laying on my mother’s chest as she sobbed into her hands. I picked up the phone and held it up. “Hi pup.”

“Hi daddy.” 1 snuggled next to my mom, holding the phone out to where she could see. “Momma. It was a lie. One that we couldn’t explain over just any phone or mind link because you know Vince and the others are watching.” I wrapped my arm around her as her sobs started to get quieter.

“Baby, we are all here. All safe. We moved to the Agora cabins, out of the way of prying eyes.” My dad had a slightly panicked look in his eyes. “I am so sorry, I wanted to warn you, to tell you. But we needed this reaction.”

My mother pulled her hands down. “This reaction?” Her voice still held her pain, her anger, but she was focusing on him now.

“Yes baby. Vince and Morgan aren’t stupid. They know you were still holding love for me. If you didn’t have this reaction to my death, then they would have known something was up.” I could see the need on his face. “I wish I was there to hold you. To kiss you. To prove to you, I’m not dead. But I can’t.”

“But everyone is alive?” My mother’s voice was hopeful.
