Chapter 63 Twinkle

Zalia

I grab the next file from the stack and prepare myself for the same boring reports as the previous thirty two files I read, but I don’t think anything could have prepared me for the words in this file. At the top of the first page it says Search for Juliette and I blink my eyes a few times to see if I read it correctly, but no matter how often I blink my eyes the words remain the same. This file is a detailed recount of a search for Juliette, she disappeared the night before she was supposed to return to her Father’s Pack.

Pack–members were divided into groups to search for Juliette, starting with the Pack–house and it’s surroundings before making their way to the borders of Crystal Cove Pack. Every time a group returned to the Pack–house this file got updated and when the entire territory had been searched Warriors were sent out to search just outside their territory. The last sentence in this file throws me for a loop, the search was called of when they received news from the Palace that Juliette had shown up there to accuse her Father of a forceful marking.

“What the Fuck? Someone tried to do to her what our Grandfather tried to do to Mom.” Twilight growls in my head and I turn the page hoping for some more information, but there is nothing else in this file. I quickly grab the next file to find a report from some Investigators, each of them found out that Juliette had arrived at the Palace and that she testified against her Father. Other than that they had been unable to find information on Juliette, it was as if she had vanished into thin air.

I sigh in relief when Liam calls it a day and I snuggle into Deimos‘ side as I close my eyes for a moment, apparently I closed my eyes for longer than just a moment because I hear someone whisper next to my car, “Wake

up, Baby Girl.” I slowly open my eyes because the voice and the nickname belongs to someone I lost years ago, I feel tears rolling down my face the moment I lock eyes with my Mom. I reach out with my hand to touch her one more time, only to find that he is just out of reach.

She just stands there with her signature braid over her left shoulder, reminding me of Cassandra, she is wearing the same outfit as the last time I saw her and my eyes get drawn to her hands. In her hands is a piece of paper, but I can’t see what is written on it and as I strain my eyesight I realize the

I slowly lift my hand to touch his check, “What is wrong, my Love?” Lask him and I see him smile at the endearment, “You were out all night, you didn’t respond to anything and Doc ran every test he could think of.” He answers as he cups my face. “Please don’t ever scare me like that ever again.
