8 A visit to Blue Ridge Pack 2
Ramsey
How could they not be aware that their daughter was attacked ? The thought angered me more than I cared to admit .
“ What do you mean you weren’t aware ? ” I demanded , my frustration deepening .
“ Is that how little you care about her ? What kind of parents are you ? ”
Her parents shifted ufortably both of them lowering their gazes , including thei
ghter .
“ Alpha ! ” her father began “ Most of the time we don’t understand L .
She’s always been , closed off and rarely … ”
“ Rarely does what ? ” I cut him off , my patience wearing thin .
“ Your daughter , the one you’re supposed to protect and care for ? ”
Lenny ced a hand on my arm , a silent reminder to maintain myposure but I shrugged it off .
L’s absence , her family’s indifference – everything was pissing me off .

“ And where were you , ” I continued , my voice rising with every word .
“ When she was taken to the White Mountains ? You didn’t even show up to try to plead for her release .
All the other parents do .
Do you even care about her? Do you have any idea what she went through ? What she’s still going through ? And now you dare to stand here and tell me you didn’t know about the attack ? ”
The room fell into an ufortable silence and Luna Vanessa looked close to tears .
It was Alpha Logan who finally broke the silence .
“ Alpha Ramsey ,” he said meeting ny gaze “ Why are you so worked up about my daughter ? She’s a deviant and wolfless .
Why do you care so much ? I thought the whole purpose of taking her to the White Mountains was to have her punished for what happened at the G ? ”
The words hit me like a p .
I could feel blood rushing to my head , suddenly aware of how my behaviour must seem to others .
What was I doing ? I was the Lycan Leader , I was supposed to be above such emotional disys .
And yet here I was , nearly losing control over a girl I had rejected , making a fool of
28 A visit to Blue Ridge Pack 2
myself in front of her family and the warriors that had
come with me .
This wasn’t like me – I never lost control like this .
Taking a deep breath , I forced myself to calm down .
My mind was racing as I tried to find an exnation .
Something that would make me sound less of an idiot .
“ Still , it is my duty as the Lycan Leader , ” I said , my voice .
strained “ To ensure that packs treat their members – especially their children – with respect and care .
”
The words left my mouth stiff , awkward and hollow , and even as ‘ I said them , I knew ridiculous they
sounded .
Lenny quickly came forward and continued smoothly from where I stopped .
“ Perhaps , speaking with L directly would be better ? ” he suggested , “ You see , we want to hear her ount of the Feral attack , for research purposes course and also to check her condition so that our Pack Doctors and Healers would know what medicine works best for future situations .
”
Alpha Logan and his wife exchanged another nce before Logan turned to look at me .

“ I’m afraid that’s not possible , Alpha .
L left a week ago .
She’s gone back to her home in the human world .
”
My heart dropped and Lax howled in anguish within me .
“ What ! Where did she go ? ”
“ Back to the human world , ” Logan repeated .
“ She’s been living there for about three years with her Nanny .
She’s morefortable there .
”
L was gone ? She had left a week ago , and I hadn’t known .
Lax could have felt something surely .
I hade all this way , wrestled with the decision to see her again and now she was just … gor y mind reeled , struggling to process the information .
I had rejected her and distanced myself from her but the thought of her slipping further away , of the possibility of never setting my eyes on her again , caused me to panic .
Lenny must have sensed how devasted the news made me so he continued the conversation buying me
enough time topose myself .
“ She left on her own ? ” Lenny asked .
“ Yes ! ” Alpha Logan nodded .
“ She made the decision .

Why had she left ? Was it because of the rejection ? Or had something else pushed her away ?
“ I see , ” Lenny continued “ Well , perhaps you could call her and ask her to return ? As I mentioned earlier , we need her for research purposes , to understand the effects of the Ferals attack and the treatment methods
used on her .
”
I turned to Alpha Logan , hope ring in my chest but he was already shaking his head , there was a grim expression on his face .
“ We’ve already tried that ,” he adm longer reach her .
”
“ But we can no
My chest tightened with dread .
“ What do you mean you can’t reach her ? Don’t tell me you don’t have your daughter’s phone number ? ”
“ She masked her Pack mark , Logan sighed resignedly .
“ Left the Pack Chat room and changed her phone number .
I can’t find her anymore , not through our usual means .
”
My heart began to race – frightened .
How could she sever every tie to this ce ? She was a
werowalf for Moon’s saka ?

“ Her Nanny , ” Alpha Logan continued “ The one she lives within the human world is an Omega and we don’t always give Omega’s traceable Pack Marks .
So even she doesn’t have a pack mark we could use to trace L .
”
“ And you don’t know where she lives ? ” I asked feeling like grabbing him by his neck .
“ I never went there ! ” he said , his gaze darkening with shame .
“ Since she went to the human world , I already visited her once on the day of the G .
I had used her
mark to trace her to her school .
I even went there but
they told me she hasn’t shown up .
”
“ What … ” I took a deep breath , sucking in the anger that teased at the edges of my sanity .
It keeps getting absurd .
“ Has she done this before ? What happened this time around ? Why is she cutting ties ? This is her home , she doesn’t belong with the humans .
”
“ Well ! ” Luna Vanessa spoke this time around .
“ When she returned from the White Mountains , she packed her things and left .
She said … she said she was no longer part of this family .
”
“ And you just let her go ? ” I asked struggling to keep my
28 A visit to Blue Ridge Pack 2
voice even .
“ Your daughter , who can’t shift , who you im is a deviant – you let her sever whatever bind she has with her heritage and walk into the human world , alone ? ”
“ Well , she has her Nanny … ”
“ I heard what you fucking said ! ” I growled “ Do you know the potential risks of having one of our own out there ? The secrets about our world that mighte to light ? Tell me , is she even your daughter ? ”
“ Alpha ! ” Ramsey walked over to me and tried to calm m
e but I was past caring at this point .
“ I came here , hoping I could get .
e information about her .
About her inability to shift because it seems so strange that she’s Alpha blood – her parents are Alpha blood but why ? Only to find out that you care less about your daughter than everyone does .
Wow ! ” I ran a hand through my hair .
You and your mate … ” L wanted to roar , to shake them until they understood the magnitude of their failure as parents but I held back ,
I was here as the Lycan Leader , not as the man desperately searching for my mate .

“ You know what ! ” I exhaled sharply .
“ I’m done .
Let’s go , Lenny ! ” I turned and started going towards the car .
As I reached for the car handle , Alpha Logan suddenly remembered something .
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vial .
The moment he opened it , a pungent odour filled the room , causing me and the others present to recoil instinctively .
“ Wolfsbane , ” Alpha Logan exineding towards me .
“ We found this in L’s room after she left .
We believe she used it to mask her scent and her pack mark .
We have made efforts to find her , Alpha .
I swear .
”
.
I stared at the vial , realizing that t
ight have been
the cause of my fever all week and the reason why I hadn’t been feeling the mate bond .
It all made sense now , L used it to sever my mark on her neck and I was only suffering from the side effects of the wolfsbane .
While I thought about the new information , rissa , L’s sister stepped forward .
Her eyes darted nervously between her parents before she spoke .
“ If … if the Lycan Leader is desperate to find L , ” she

started hesitantly .
“ There might be someone who
knows where she went .

“ Who ? ” I demanded , walking back to the girl .
“ Nathan ,” she said .
“ L’s friend .
”
“ Nathan ? ” Alpha Logan and his wife exchanged confused nces .
“ But how would he know ? ”
rissa took a deep breath as if she was about to say an abomination .
“ On the night , L left , I … I followed her , ” she admitted .
“ I was worried about her and
wanted to say my goodbyes .

That’s where
king for a while ,
The name sent a jolt of anger and jealousy through me .
Nathan , again ?
“ Why didn’t you mention this before ? ” Her father demanded .
“ I … I didn’t think it was important ,” she shrank back .
“ And I didn’t want Nathan to get in trouble .
Π
I stepped forward , growing annoyed by the images of Nathan hugging L .
“ We need to speak with Nathan

immediately ,” I said .
“ Where can we find him ? ”
“ He lives nextpound , in the Beta quarters .
I’ll have someone escort you … ”
“ That won’t be necessary ,” I threw over my shoulders already walking back to the Pack House gates .
