Chapter 51

At the dawn of the day, Jace and Drew were already waiting in front of her door. She also woke up early to prepare because she knew the journey would take over five hours to drive to Reign. She had a little talk with the boys, whom Bella would be in charge of in her absence, about their best behaviour.

The look on their faces told her they didn’t want her to go anywhere, but she had to. Someday they would meet their grandparents, and this was the first step in ensuring that. She couldn’t wait to see the look on her parents‘ faces when she revealed to them that they had grandchildren who were absolute angels. They would be ecstatic, for sure.

She k*ssed both their heads before walking our of the house. She stepped onto the balcony and paused when she saw Julian standing not so far away. He didn’t come close, but he had woken up early just to see her go, and she waved at him slowly.

This visit was five years late, but it was better late than never.

Drew’s phone rang after the third hour, and he picked it up and placed it against his ear. “Hello,” he said, and he stayed silent for whoever was on the other end of the phone to speak.

“Yes, my king” He said this and turned around to hand her the phone in his hand before adding. The Lycan king wants to speak to you.”

Her heart sped up at his words. She took the phone from his hand and held it against her ear. I promised I would give you as much privacy as you need, but I wanted to hear your voice. I only then realised you do not have a phone, and I had to call Drew.

She nodded, then realised he couldn’t see her. “I understand.”

“I know this is a bother, and so I promise this will be my last call to you” He vowed. “I miss you, though, and I wish you were here with me. Funny how, despite being miles apart, she could still be affected.

“I miss you too. She admitted, then realised she wasn’t alone in the car. The men in the car beard every word she spoke.

He became silent, as if not expecting the words she told him: “I will be waiting for your return. He said with much anticipation in his voice. She wanted to believe in his words, but knowing what the truth might bring kept her heart in a state of doubt, confusion, and pain.

“Okay,” she replied.
