BECKY

Ever since I’d shifted the direction of my research, Fil been making great progress. After long, thankless hours, first batch of medicine. It had been a major triumph one that had left me in tears upon completions

All of my hours, and all of my effort had yielded great results. At least, as far as I knew. Dickson helped me with the safe assessment, and once we deemed that the medicine was as ready as it could be at this stage, he took it down to Wild Crawle for a clinical trai

While I was immensely hopeful. I had no idea if it was going to work. If the past few months had been any indication, we might not be so lucky. Yet, despite this possibility, Dickson seemed excited before his departure.

Jasper said the living dead were possessed by an evil spirit, and while I was a scientist, I knew that magic was at play. As such, would I be able to cure them? Even if my medicine was effective for their physical suffering, would it be able to save their spirits:

One night, as I sat in the lab, I pondered all of these things and sl*pped into a bit of a daydream, I drifted off into a state of haze but was pulled back into reality when I heard the phone ring.

Hannah had returned to her family a couple of days ago. The poor girl didn’t deserve the exhaustion and worry from me, so I decided to send her home.

Unfortunately, that left me alone here in the clinic, save for the guards who stood outside the clinic and protected the safety of the place.

I picked up the phone and answered it.

The call was from Dickson. Ever since he’d left for Wild Crawler, he called me daily and updated me on the progress of the clinical trials. Usually, there was little to report, but today, he sounded cheerful.

“Everything is going well, he informed me. “And if it continues to go well, I will come back next week. I’ll pick you up and then we’ll come back here together. We’ll continue to produce more medicine and finally save our patients from this horrid illness”

Once he was mished, I voiced my concer. I tried not to soundupset as I spoke, but I was running on so little sleep that it was impossibile

“There’s a possibility that even if we cure our patients, their spirits might be damaged, Isaid softly as my eyes welled up “Damages to the nervous system are usually irreversible”

My jaw dropped and excitement bloomed within me.

This was a cheerful message.

“Who’s going to go on this mission?” I asked, and then I pondered the idea. “I think Jasper would probably suited for it.

“Rayden is planning on doing this himself, Dickson replied.

“What?” I exclaimed before I could stop myself and I stared ahead in disbelief. “Who is going to look after the Pack if Rayden is gone?”

“The old Alpha, Rayden’s father, Gareth, is going to help out,” he answered. “He’s going to keep an eye on things in Wild Crawler and make sure nothing happens in his son’s absence. We tried to tell Rayden that he didn’t need to go, but he insisted. He said Jasper was a good guard, but he’s never been in a true fight, which means it would be dangerous if an accident happened. Since Rayden served in the Myriad as an elite soldier, he believes he’s the best choice.

He had a point, though I didn’t want to admit it. With how highly trained the Myriad soldiers were, it made sense to send in someone like Rayden for such a stealth operation.

“He’s probably worried about Cassandra,” I offered, remembering that Cassandra was once a part of his Pack. “And wants to make sure she’s alright with his own eyes. Hearing about her is one thing, but seeing is another.”

“You’re probably right,” Dickson agreed.

“Is there any news about the Alpha King?” I wondered when the conversation hit a lull. “Have Rayden’s guards found any trace of him?”

“No,” he replied, and then he let out a soft sigh. “He hasn’t mentioned it at all. It’s crazy. I wonder where he could have gone

I fell silent. The Alpha King was still missing and there was no information about Silas Moses. I had believed that Silas would be with the king since he obviously wasn’t in Anemond with his sinister father and sister.

Though I was worried about the Alpha King, I had to admit that I was more concerned for Silas’ safety. Like it or not, there was always a hollow in my heart, and every time I thought about Silas, I felt empty. I wasn’t sure if it was because of the mate bond or not, but I regretted the way I’d spoken to him during our last conversation. I had been so harsh and I wished I could go back in time and be more friendly with the Beta.

“Do you miss him?” Dickson wondered, interrupting the silence between us. Even though he didn’t speak Silas’ name, I knew at once that was who he was referring to.

I didn’t want to admit it, especially to Dickson. I still felt so strange about the encounter with the blond heater in Wild Crawler. While I valued our friendslup and partnership greatly, especially during all of this turmoil, I just wasn’t certain that I could ever see Dickson that way

Not the way I saw Silas

My mate

Even just the thought of his name invokes a warmth within in a longing that couldn’t otherwise be described.

I stared out the window. I only I knew where he was now
