Chapter 122 Desperate Calls
Third–Person POV:
“Chloe, where is Lillian?” Julian’s voice came through the phone, rough with barely controlled frustration.

Chloe blinked groggily at the ceiling, her brain struggling to catch up. “Sleeping,” she mumbled. “Where else would she be at this
hour?”
“Where is she sleeping?”
“In my bed!”
She hung up without a second thought.
Unbelievable. The man couldn’t keep track of his own mate in the middle of the night, so he decided to bother everyone else about
t?
Back at the hospital, Julian’s expression had turned murderous.
“She never even went in?” His voice was ice wrapped around a core of barely contained fury.
She never went in. The whole time, she’d never been inside at all.
He’d underestimated her. Seriously underestimated her.
Thomas nodded, keeping his voice carefully neutral. “That’s right. Luna got out of the car halfway there.”
He’d only discovered Lillian hadn’t been processed when he’d called ahead to make sure the staff went easy on her. The news had caught him completely off guard.
What he didn’t mention–what he didn’t dare mention–was that Finn had been the one to pick her up.
As for where she’d gone after that, the trail had gone cold.
Julian closed his eyes, something dark flickering behind his lids. “Finn picked her up again.”
When Chloe had said she was in her bed just now, some of the tension had left his chest. He’d called Chloe hoping that if Lillian was okay, Chloe would know something after everything that went down yesterday.
He hadn’t expected them to be together.
Thomas gave a grim nod. “Yes.”
Julian said nothing.
The pressure in the room shifted–grew heavier, denser, like the air before a storm. It felt like he wanted to tear Gilneas City apart brick by brick.
“Where did they go after that?”

Then she hurried after Eleanor, and the door clicked shut behind them.
Alone now, Iris finally snapped.
She swept her arm across the nightstand. Glass shattered. Lamps crashed. The sound of breaking things filled the room.
“AH-!” The scream tore out of her throat, raw and feral.
Her mother’s situation was barely starting to look bad, and Eleanor was already treating her like this?
Lillian’s words echoed in her head.
“You’ll end up just like me–nothing to do, rotting away on pack resources. Let’s see how much status you’ve got left in the Graves Pack then.”
She’d brushed it off before.
But what had Eleanor just said?
Her mother wasn’t even completely down yet! She hadn’t even lost her VP seat at Graves Group!
