Drowning myself in work felt preferable because numbers didn’t talk back, and spreadsheets didn’t ask why you were upset.

By the time Daniel arrived, I’d already gone through two meetings and had my coffee refilled twice. He pecked into my office once, offering a small smile. I returned it out of courtesy, but my eyes dropped back to my computer before he could say anything. I didn’t trust myself to talk yet.

Hours went by and I stayed buried in work by answering calls, checking propos reviewing budgets. Every time Daniel walked past, I found something to do reread, a message to type, anything that would keep me from looking at him.

In the afternoon, a message popped up on the internal system:

>“Emergency Meeting – Conference Room A. All Senior Staff.”

Perfect. Another distraction.

When I entered the room, Daniel was already seated at the head of the table, flanked by Elias and two department heads. Selene was there too, pretending to look engaged. I sat across from her, pretending not to notice.

She had no business being here but I wasn’t surprised either way.

The meeting was about logistics and upcoming pack investments. I took notes and asked questions when necessary, all business, no emotion.

Daniel’s voice was steady as he led the discussion, but every now and then, I caught his eyes flicking toward me. I kept my expression neutral.

When the meeting ended, everyone began filing out. I packed my notes quickly, hoping to leave before he got to me. But Daniel was faster.

“Amy, wait,” he said, catching up with me near the doorway.

“I have another call to join,” I said, not looking at him.

He frowned slightly. “You’ve been avoiding me all day.”

“I’ve been working,” I retorted, adjusting the files in

He stepped closer. “You’re upset.”

I sighed. “Daniel, I really don’t want to do this here. I’m busy.”

For a moment, he looked like he wanted to argue, but he nodded instead. “Fine. I’ll see you at home.”

I nodded and walked away, ignoring the ache in my chest.

When the day finally ended, I couldn’t bring myself to drive home. The idea of sitting across from him at dinner, pretending everything was fine, made me feel suffocated. So instead, I turned the car toward the pack library.

The library was quiet, almost empty. The scent of old paper and polished wood filled the air. I went straight to the archives – the section that held books about pack history, lineage, and old customs. I didn’t know what exactly I was looking for, only that I needed to ‘

y mind occupied.

After scanning through several titles, I found a few books about tracing family members who’d gone off–grid. Wolves who had rejected their packs, vanished, or gone rogue. I sat in a corner and flipped through pages for hours, highlighting passages about spiritual links, blood bonds, and ritual trackers.

It wasn’t that I had anyone specific in mind – at least, that’s what I told myself. Maybe part of me was thinking about my mother, or maybe it was just easier to focus on someone else’s mystery instead of my own confusion.

By the time I finished, it was dark outside. I gathered my things and headed toward the exit. As I pushed the door open, I froze.

“Leaving so soon?” a familiar voice said.

I turned and saw Cole standing by the car park, leaning casually against a black SUV.

“Cole?” I blinked. “When did you get back?”

“Just a few hours ago,” he said with a grin. “Daniel called me.”

That caught me off guard. “He did?”

“Yeah,” Cole said, walking over. “He told me to find you and make sure you’re safe. Said you’ve been… distracted lately.”

I shook my head, half amused and half exasperated. “He’s unbelievable.”

“He also said I’m back on duty,” Cole continued. “Full–time. I’ll be driving you again, starting tonight.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Of course he did.”

Cole smiled, folding his arms. “You don’t sound surprised.”

“I’m not,” I said. “That’s Daniel for you. Can’t stand not knowing where I am for two seconds.”

“Well, to be fair,” Cole said, “you do have a tendency to disappear when you’re upset.”
