If Abby could swear on her life to vouch for her father about something, that would be the unconditional love he had toward her mother, Riley.

Ryan loved Riley dearly, more than anything in his life, until he spent his life wallowing in despair after she lost her life all those years ago.

It was also because of this love of his toward her mate that he started abusing his younger daughter whom he believed to be the cause of Riley's death afterward.

Abby could also see how intensely Riley loved her family from what she wrote in her diary.

Every page was a record of the beautiful moments she spent with the three of them and reading them brought back all those memories to the forefront of her mind, making her laugh and cry at the same time. Riley shared her love and affection equally between her mate and her two daughters, whom she adored the most in the world.

She also wrote how she enjoyed training Abby once she awakened her powers of a magic user at the tender age of eight, and how her father worried about the mother and daughter's special identities. After all, witches weren't really welcomed in this kingdom, but he never cared about those things. Riley expressed how she was blessed to find a mate like Ryan several times in the book.

Even Abby remembered how Ryan loved both his daughters equally, next only to his mate, though he took it away from her later.

And the more she read her mother's words, the more pathetic she felt for the cruel hand fate dealt her by taking away Riley, who was clearly the center of their family, forcing them three to fall apart violently. Abby had to wipe her eyes several times to be able to continue reading, because tears kept obscuring her vision, as they gushed out nonstop.

Just like that, she almost finished the small book, but she couldn't help gasping loudly when she saw Calpin's name appear in one of the pages toward the end of the book.

"She even wrote about Calpin here?"

She was confused for a moment and then looked at the huge box her father stuffed with her mother's belongings, feeling her head spinning for a moment.

But then she threw herself back into the book and before she could finish reading it, she staggered to her feet and ran out of the house to find her father.

"My queen, what happened?" Alyssa rushed to Abby's side when she saw the disheveled state of the girl.

"Don't ask anything." Abby left these words as she made a beeline for the dungeons, while Alyssa was still stunned.

Only when she reached the underground basement, did she realize she didn't know where exactly they kept Ryan and she almost growled in irritation.

A guard approached Abby when he saw someone had run to the dungeon crazily. However, he bowed to her immediately when he realized who she was. "My Queen, do you need something?"

The girl looked quite different from the few times he saw her interacting with the pack memebers the past few days. Her hair flew in all directions while her face was streaked with tears, completely different from the impeccable image she maintained upon her return to the pack.

"Take me to Ryan."
