“The number you are calling is currently switched off, to leave a message…”
the operator’s voice comes.
Fuck!
I turn away from Annette, running a hand through my hair, calling Jai instead.
“Hello?”
He answers.
“Track where Dad made the last call to my cell phone. His phone is now switched off and according to Annette, he went on a business trip a few days ago.”
I say, my heart feeling heavy.
“On it… Is everything otherwise ok, Zaia?”
“No,”
I say, unable to bring myself to tell him about Mom. “Has Bastien returned?”
“No. I’ll call him, don’t worry. Do you need backup or help?”
“Just tell him things are a mess here and to call me on this number. Please.”
I just need to hear his voice. I need him to help me out a little.
My head is still hurting, and I feel useless. I shifted, but I’m not healing as fast as I want it to. “Alright, take care of yourself, Alpha,”
Jai says quietly.
“I will,”
I reply.
Dad is missing, Mom is dead…
She’s dead.
My heart is thumping as I scan the spacious hallway that seems to be spinning. It’s my fault Mom was left here alone…
My fault she is dead…
I am a horrible person…
What have I done?
Where are you, Dad?
Focus, Zaia.
“Alpha Zaia! A call for you!”
I turn to see one of Dad’s loyal guards hurrying over to me.
I take the phone and hold it to my ear.
“Hello?”
I ask.
“Zaia. We failed, the car you were supposed to be travelling in… it was involved in a crash, and no one made it out alive.”
Atticus’s voice comes, making my heart thump.
That was no accident…
That woman… the guards…
“No…”
“Hey… as long as you’re safe. I’m coming there. Don’t go out alone.”
Atticus says and I hate that even he sounds shaken.
“How much did we lose?”
I whisper.
“Seventeen people.”
He replies gravely.
“I’m sorry…”
I reply, knowing most of those were from his pack.
“Yeah… me too… We’ll get through this.”
“Dad’s missing, Atticus,”
I whisper.
There’s silence. “I’m coming, wait for me.”
“Ok,”
I say.
Please, Sebastian, call me….
That unease I felt this morning returns to me with vengeance and it’s scaring me. Things can’t get worse than this, but then why do I still feel like I’m missing something?
I hang up and look at Annette. “Did you learn anything as per our deal?”
She frowns. “That was more than enough!”
she says. “What was? We had a deal. You would get me some information, or something.”
“It was so hard to find that number. I swear I went to places I didn’t think I’d ever return to.”
She hisses quietly, glancing at the guards.
“What number?”
I ask, now frowning.
“He never… Oh Goddess, I told him to pass you the number in person! He wanted to see the children before the business trip! Who knows if the number will still work and I worked so hard to get it! So he never stopped at your pack…”
Realisation dawns upon her, and she looks unnerved.
Everything is going wrong!
“What number?”
I ask,
“I’ll go get it,”
she says hurrying to her bedroom. I follow her, not trusting her as she rummages in her vanity table drawer before taking out a card. “Here. It’s one of theirs.”
She whispers as if someone might hear her.
I dial the number and it rings. I wonder if it really is. Did she manage to find something? The phone is answered after a few rings, but no one speaks.
“I’m sure you can hear me.”
I begin.
“Zaia, lovely to hear your beautiful voice again.”
My stomach twists as my eyes blaze, recognising that voice. “Gerard….”
“Track the call. Now.’ I mouth to one of the guards. He nods as he hurries away, and Annette stands there observing me. He chuckles. “Ah, yes. Glad that you recognised my voice.”
“Shame you aren’t dead.”
I hiss. “You had your chance to end it, but you didn’t. So luckily I’m alive and well..
