Chapter 42
The next week was horrendous. The day after Kade left in a rage, I tried to call Gannon only to find out my credit had run out from texting Kade and ringing him. Plus, I rang the castle and got their answering machine, not realizing it didn’t automatically disconnect when no one answered
But that wasn’t the strangest thing, though. I checked all through the phone, and I couldn’t find his messages or his phone number anymore My phone book is completely empty, and my messages are empty. The only number that remained was Kades.
I ran out of food on the second day. Kade always had some excuse not to visit, or when he did, it was only briefly, and he quickly killed any excitement I had about seeing him. I never seemed to do anything right, yet today I was completely depleted. My energy reserves died along with any motivation. I missed home terribly. I never thought I would feel at home at the castle, but coming here, I missed it.
I missed Gannon: I missed Clarice, even Peter, though he drove me up the wall. Most of all, I missed Ivy. She was my safe place. The one person who only wanted the best for me. She was more than my friend. She was my strength, my armor, and my reason for living.
All morning I lazed around but knowing Kade was supposed to come over today, I decided I needed to do my washing. So I hand scrubbed my dress, knowing it would take all day to dry, when Kade’s voice boomed in my head.
“Why aren’t you answering your phone?” he asks. I blink and answer back only to remember I can’t. Cursing, I listen only to hear my phone ringing. I raced back inside and managed to scoop it up to see Kade’s number pop up on the screen. Answering it, he instantly starts talking.
“Love, the King and Ivy are trying to call you. Answer your phone when they ring back.”
1 glanced at the screen and noticed the writing on the front with the phone emblem. “Okay. When will you stop by?” I ask him.
“Today. I have good news for you. Alpha Brock said I can come to pick Tyson up next week. Would you like to come with me?” i chewed my lip. I never wanted to go back there again, but for Tyson, I would suck it up.
“He really said that?” I ask. “Wait, does that mean I am coming to the packhouse?” I ask. Finally, everything was turning out the way it was supposed to be
“Yes, of course. I will message the King and let him know to call you back, okay? I love you,” he says, and I murmur it back before he hangs up. But he was getting Tyson, and I was moving to the Packhouse. I couldn’t wait to speak to Ivy. It felt like forever since I spoke to her.
Not even a few minutes later, my phone rings as I step out to peg up the last of the laundry.
“Finally, you called!” I squeal, unable to contain my excitement. Even better was that I could see her face if I wanted, yet trying to figure out how to turn my camera on without help was extremely difficult, yet the King was patient as he talked me through it. I cried excitedly. waving to her and gushing about how much I missed her when I finally saw her face peering back at me.
“Where are you? You look like you’re outside?” Ivy asks while squinting into the camera at the background.
“At the cabin. I was hanging out washing and didn’t hear my phone. Plus, I ran out of credit. I have been trying to reach you for days. I have been so worried about you. Kade said the King caught you before you could get to the bridge?” I ask her, and she chews her lip, glancing away briefly
