An Explanation

ZAIA. “Well goodnight, Ms Toussaint. I am thoroughly impressed with how far you have come. Oh, and…” Alpha Robert leans forward. “I hope you are recovering well.”

“Thank you, I’m fine,” I say, touching my shoulder lightly. It’s obvious no one wanted to openly mention me being shot; not wanting it to take away from the celebration at hand.

The expression on his face clearly shows he is a man on a mission. “Not now Atticus, I’m heading back,” I say quietly. The night is over, and I just want to return home to my family.

Dad said he had things to deal with and I’m sure he means the mother-daughter duo that left earlier. He is leaving now too, and most people have retreated. Some of the pack members remain and the staff will soon clean up.

When he realises, I am calm and won’t fight him any longer, he slowly releases me. “What is it?” I ask, glaring at him. “Do not manhandle me next time.”

His gaze falls to my necklace before he shakes his head. “Really Zaia? You aren’t even listening.”

“Then tell me what it is?” I reply, exasperated. “Let’s get out of here.”

I’m not going anywhere with anyone…

“No.”
