Now, there is just one last person I need to talk with.

I leave the dining hall to go in search of my husband.

“He's not in our room,”Val groaned as I shut the door quietly.

“It’s not really our room anymore,”I argued with her, “We left, remember.”

“He left it the same,”she said in a giddy voice, “He wants it to still be our room.”

“Yeah, well, don’t get your hopes up just yet. A lot has changed since then.”

“Yeah, you are a lot grumpier,”Val grumbled.

“You sure aren’t a bucket of sunshine anymore either, Val. You're crankier than me.”She also has a habit of acting on that anger now, but it would do no good to point that out. This isn’t really the time to remind her that she likes to tear the heads off my uncle’s warriors every time she gets mad.

Hurrying down the corridors, I decided to try Lachlan’s office next. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth thinking of going there, since that was the last place I saw him before I swam away. I saw him with that awful woman. That is not a memory I want to relive.

Turning the corner, I almost ran right into Jack.

“Whoa,” he held me steady, even though he seemed to sway a bit more than I did, “There you are, lass. I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Had to lose my blasted chaperone to find you.”

Chaperone? I’ll have to talk to Lachlan about that. Jack and his men can be trusted.

“Sorry, Jack, but I’m in a bit of a rush right now.”

“Rush for what? Where’s the fire?” he laughed dryly.

“I need to find Lachlan. I’ll come to find you as soon as I’m done. I want to know how the meeting went,” I quickly told him before rushing off down the hall. I can tell he has more to say, but he will have to wait. I want to speak with Lachlan now before I lose my nerve.

He isn’t in his office and I don’t find him in the training grounds either. Is he hiding from me? After my father and I finished our walk on the beach, Lachlan rushed off with Nilo and I haven’t seen either of them since.

Finally, when I’m about to give up, I find Cherum in the armory with Percy and a few other members of Luna's guard. All of them lit up as I walked in, smiles on all their faces.

I can’t help the smile that erupts on mine. I missed these men.

“I was about to hunt you down, Ela. How was your visit with your father?” Cherum asked me after the others finished greeting me and hugging me like I’m their rag doll. Val had to growl at a few of them for squeezing too hard.

“It was wonderful,” my smile broadened, thinking of my first real connection I had with my father. “I was looking for the Alpha, though. Do any of you know where he might be?”

“Hmm, probably there, right Delta?” Percy looked at Cherum.

“Aye, that is usually where he is when we can’t find him?”

“Where?” I looked between the two men.

Cherum smiled brilliantly, his rosy cheeks stretching on his face. “Let me show you, lass. I know the Alpha will be excited for you to see it for yourself.”

Jack

I lost her again. I swear, ever since coming here it has been like a game of cat and mouse trying to keep up with her.

She is always on the move, always wanted by someone. Her attention is always somewhere else.

My head is a mess after waking up next to Beretta, knowing that I might have cost myself my chance with Ela. Not only did that happen, my beast seemed entirely at peace with the incident, which was making my head even more of a mess.
