“Actually, I feel like Dad ”
Sky began, but before he could finish his sentence, Alpha Benjamin’s voice called out from the dining room. “Willow, come here, girl.”
“Let’s go,”
Sky led me inside, and he didn’t finish his words anymore.
Upon entering, Alpha Benjamin and Beta Ken warmly welcomed and hugged me. As expected, the Alpha had no intention of letting me go without having lunch with him. Despite the tensions of the past few days, the conversation was lively, and the dining room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
“Willow, why is it that you have suddenly come to visit this old man? There has to be a reason, right?”
The Alpha knowingly raised an eyebrow.
“You are right,”
I smiled sheepishly. “Actually, I remembered something from the past, Alpha,”
I confessed, only to be startled by Alpha Benjamin suddenly dropping a spoon on a plate.
I looked at his wide eyes as he slowly looked at me. “What did you remember?”
“Actually, I only remembered a little bit where Dad and you were playing chess. Mom came in with refreshments and I accidentally knocked the glass of water onto the chessboard that you two were playing,”
I explained.
Alpha’s eyes color changed and his eyes widened, “Do you remember anything more?”
his voice was low.
I shook my head. “Honestly, it’s the first time I remember something from the past, and it also helped me recall what my mom and dad looked like,”
my voice held excitement at finally recalling my parents’ appearance. Though I did not see the same excitement in the Alpha’s face. “Is there something wrong, Alpha?”
“No ”
he shook his head and managed to smile, “It’s just I am shocked that after forgetting nearly everything you suddenly recalled something
“I am shocked too,”
my heart beated wildly in my chest, “Seeing you there in memory was really unexpected, Alpha. You seemed really close friends with my dad!”
Sky and Beta Ken watched the both of us in silence. Alpha Benjamin’s lips also curled lightly. “Yes, your dad George and I were best friends.
“Alpha, can you tell me more about my parents? Maybe it will help me remember some more things!”
Over the past few years, whenever I met with the Alpha, I always asked him different things about my parents’.
He was silent for a couple of seconds then continued eating while replying, “Like I told you, your parents were a very peace- loving couple. There is not much to tell. During the daytime, George would be driving and doing small tasks for me, but at night we were drinking partners and played chess. The day I tasted the delicious food made by your mom, Eloise, I immediately hired her as a full-time cook in the packhouse. She was a kind and beautiful woman, just like you,”
he smiled at me.
It was the story that he told me every time that warmed my heart again, hearing about my parents’ simple and peaceful life.
Only now I doubted that it would help me remember more. Everyone returned to eating and chatted about other stuff like the pack’s security, the mysterious attacks that were still a threat to the pack, but Sky seemed to be lost in thought.
Even though I wished to stay longer, I had to take my leave because I had to meet Walter at the restaurant. As soon as I left the Wade Moon territory, I received a call from Wyatt and Lori’s kindergarten teacher.
It was not unusual for me to get calls from their kindergarten teachers. Usually, they wished to complain about my children’s naughtiness. However, that was past. This was the first time I received a call from this kindergarten teacher which surprised me. I had thought that Wyatt and Lori were fitting in perfectly at this kindergarten, so I was puzzled as to why the teacher was calling me.
I immediately put the phone on speaker while driving, but before I could say hello, the nervous voice of the female teacher came from the other end of the line.
“Am I talking to Miss Willow?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“I I am really sorry, but today we brought the children on a field trip, and Wyatt and Lori have disappeared!”
Willow
“I I am really sorry, but today we brought the children on a field trip, and Wyatt and Lori have disappeared!”
As soon as she said that, I slammed my foot on the brake in shock and practically screamed into the phone, “What the hell do you mean they disappeared?!”
“Honestly, I don’t have a clue. They were with us the entire time, but now they are nowhere to be found,”
she explained in a panic.
My heart dropped into my stomach, and my brain went blank for a second. My children had gone missing! Where could they be? “When and where was the last time you saw them?”
I growled impatiently, immediately pleasing my foot down on the accelerator of the car.
The teacher explained the address on the way to me. I hung up the phone and sped off in my car. I had to find them as soon as possible.
I stretched out my hand, thinking about calling Reuben then remembered that no electronic devices were allowed in the palace. I could not even mind-link him about this matter so I called Oran and Bix again and again but they did not pick up my calls. Frustrated, I could only focus on keeping my speeding car on the road, but soon negative thoughts began to dominate my mind. What if something happened to my children?
That’s when my phone rang again, this time from an unknown number. I was confused for a second but I picked it up quickly.
“Hello,”
a heavy and deep manly voice came from the other side of the phone, freezing me for a moment. The dominance in the voice was so clear that I could tell the man was an Alpha. For some reason, Ceri paused in my mind when the man’s voice entered our ears. “Am I talking to Wyatt and Lori’s mother?”
the man questioned.
As soon as he mentioned my children’s names, my ears perked up. “Yes, that’s me,”
I responded quickly, my heart pounding with worry.
“Your children are with me. It seems they have gotten lost,”
he explained.
My heartbeat quickened in panic. “Please, tell me where are you? I will come and get them!”
The man was silent for a couple of seconds, causing my muscles to tense for some reason. Until he told me the address. “Alright, I will be there in fifteen minutes. Please wait for me,”
I impatiently requested.
A faint sound came from the other side. I had the feeling that he smiled before he replied, “Of course, I have been waiting for you ”
His response was strange, and my hand holding the phone shook abruptly. What did he mean? I couldn’t care less about anything as I hung up the phone and swiftly turned my car. Exactly thirteen minutes later, I reached the location, which to my surprise was a children’s park. How had the children ended up here? As soon as I stepped in, I caught my children’s scent in the air and following it, I found them on the swings.
