Chapter 0343
Zaia had said to let it go and recalled the squad.
It’s been seventeen months and we haven’t heard anything since… almost as if he has vanished into thin air… as silent as he had been for the last five years prior… This is what happens when I end up having a moment to ponder on things.
The person who ruined my life creeps into my mind like a thief in the night.
He’s gone, but he’s left an impact on my life. One that I never expected him ever to, one that riddles me with grief and guilt. How am I still remembering him when he’s long gone?
When will the pain stop?
When will the guilt disappear?
Anger flits through me, and I stand up, refusing to let myself wallow.
These bags won’t unpack themselves and I need to get this place sorted and then I will spend the week exploring this place before I begin work next week.
And if there’s a man I find good–looking, then yes, I will ask him out on a date.
My determination fades as I remember Jai’s handsome face and smile sadly.
He was the light I never gave enough to…
I exhale, refusing to get emotional.
The sky is black, lit up by the orangey glow of the street lamps outside. I can smell something cooking wafting through the open window and the sound of families gathering for their evening meals and chattering away.

I smile as I look through the papers I’m working on. This was one of the reasons I chose this place rather than a more upscale apartment. The neighbours make you feel a little less lonely.
The pleasant ambience of apartments cramped together was perfect. I have not met my neighbours yet, although I am more curious about the one whom I’m sharing my balcony with.
“Drake, get yo ass in here! You ain’t going anywhere!” A woman shouts.
‘Bye Mom!”

“DRAKE!”
Oh boy.
I shake my head as I tuck my hand under my chin. As long as no one realises I’m a werewolf, I’m sure I’ll be able to stay fairly hidden. I close the file and stretch as I massage my neck.
Goddess, there’s so much to do this week, but right now I think I’m going to head to bed.
Packing up, I shower quickly, pulling on an oversized white shirt and panties. before I head to the bedroom. My phone beeps and I pick it up from the dresser, smiling when I see Atticus’s name on the screen.
I pull my towel out of my hair and get into bed, running my fingers through my short hair as I unlock my phone; ready to text him back, only to see Zaia has also messaged. Both are asking if I arrived safely and if I like the place.
Smiling, I begin reading the messages and replying and soon, I’m lost in the conversations, the occasional dog barking or a siren passing distracts me for a few seconds, but I feel better than I have in months.
ATTICUS: You should get some rest now. You must be tired, with all that texting. You and Zaia never tire.
VALERIE: Oh? You knew we were talking lol.
ATTICUS: There’s not a chance that you two are both online and not texting one another.
VALERIE: Stalker.
ATTICUS: Lol, no, just a worried brother.
Mhmm, I shake my head, bidding him and Zaia both goodnight. It is late….
I smile at his response before I put my phone down and I’m about to switch off the lamp when I suddenly freeze. A strange feeling washes over me and I look. sharply at the blank white wall behind the bed.
My heart thumps, and I’m on edge as I slowly move up until my knees are on the cushions and press my ear to the wall.
What were my instincts telling me?
