Chapter 258

There were a lot of panels happening in the pack house.

And she would never have the chance to figure out what happened to him in that period of time.

Janet took in a deep breath fought back the tears in his eyes and looked away from

Daran.

She had to quit those sentimental thoughts.

She needed to focus on finding her son.

“He can’t be too far away here somewhere,” said Janet with a frown.

This wasn’t Riverside Pack.

Daran didn’t have anyone that he could trust Aspen with.

He would very much likely keep Aspen close to his side.
