Mated To The King’s Gamma By Jessica Hall

Chapter 42

The next week was horrendous. The day after Kade left in a rage, I tried to call Gannon only to find out my credit had run out from texting Kade and ringing him. Plus, I rang the castle and got their answering machine, not realizing it didn’t automatically disconnect when no one answered

But that wasn’t the strangest thing, though. I checked all through the phone, and I couldn’t find his messages or his phone number anymore My phone book is completely empty, and my messages are empty. The only number that remained was Kades.

I ran out of food on the second day. Kade always had some excuse not to visit, or when he did, it was only briefly, and he quickly killed any excitement I had about seeing him. I never seemed to do anything right, yet today I was completely depleted. My energy reserves died along with any motivation. I missed home terribly. I never thought I would feel at home at the castle, but coming here, I missed it.

I missed Gannon: I missed Clarice, even Peter, though he drove me up the wall. Most of all, I missed Ivy. She was my safe place. The one person who only wanted the best for me. She was more than my friend. She was my strength, my armor, and my reason for living.

All morning I lazed around but knowing Kade was supposed to come over today, I decided I needed to do my washing. So I hand scrubbed my dress, knowing it would take all day to dry, when Kade’s voice boomed in my head.

“Why aren’t you answering your phone?” he asks. I blink and answer back only to remember I can’t. Cursing, I listen only to hear my phone ringing. I raced back inside and managed to scoop it up to see Kade’s number pop up on the screen. Answering it, he instantly starts talking.

“Love, the King and Ivy are trying to call you. Answer your phone when they ring back.”

1 glanced at the screen and noticed the writing on the front with the phone emblem. “Okay. When will you stop by?” I ask him.

“Today. I have good news for you. Alpha Brock said I can come to pick Tyson up next week. Would you like to come with me?” i chewed my lip. I never wanted to go back there again, but for Tyson, I would suck it up.
