Chapter 0057

Kaia POV

I was back alone, back in a home to myself.

But this time was different, the pack wasn't ignoring me. I wasn't being shunned.

Word must have got around because every morning I opened the front door to find baskets of freshly baked bread and cakes, freshly picked fruit or vegetables from their gardens.

They cared and that meant the world to me.

I just couldn't properly digest that right now.

I was still healing.

When I am ready I will thank them all with the gratitude I hold deep within me.

My new home wasn't near the pack borders a I had requested, it was close to the alpha mansion and pack house.

Hector claims it is the only one available but I don't believe him. I know for a fact that there are unused houses by the borders.

He's keeping a close watch on me. If I should leave, he'll lose all bargaining power with the Amber Desert pack.

Lose any chance of getting her out...what did he say, freeing her?

She wasn't a prisoner, I was their prisoner. She was loved and adored by the alpha, by the pack who helped keep the past from me. She didn't need rescuing.

Sleep I was struggling with. The silence of the night making more own thoughts louder, the moon's powerful glow reminding me of what I have lost.
