— 12 Hours Earlier- ~~

It was a few minutes after midnight when we finally arrived at Blue Ridge Pack Me and my entourage which consisted of my grandfather , the core White Mountains Elders and Cassidy who insisted on coming with me despite my refusal .

We made a lot of stops on our way here due to my grandfather’s fragile state and since we were travelling with healers , we had to stop several times for them to attend to him .

Nathan and his father alongside Alpha Logan’s widow had welcomed us , but there was no sign of Lyla .

Was she purposely avoiding me ?

After we were fed , and I freshened up , everyone went into their room immediately , the journey had worn us out .

However , an hour later , I was still wide awake staring at the ceiling and it didn’t help that Lax was agitated .

Cassidy had slipped into my room at some point , much to Lax’s chagrin and despite my pleas that I wanted to be left alone .

Because of how much Lax disliked her , he was making it impossible for me to get a shut eye .

Finally , at 2.

am , I decided to give up on trying to sleep again .

quietly from the bed so as not to wake an already sleeping Cassidy , I threw on a pair of casual clothes before slipping out of the room .

The main building of the pack house still buzzed with activities as servants were making last – minute arrangements for the funeral that would be held later today , so the place was a bit lively .

I passed through them , nodding at their scattered greetings for those who recognized me .

I strolled around a bit around the Alpha building , pretending to be interested in the funeral arrangements being made when in reality , I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Lyla .

It was killing me that since she arrived , I’d been unable to see her .

I’ve been searching all these years and now that I have her at arm’s reach … it’s impossible to even get a peak .

I moved away from the Alpha building and headed for the gate after a while , loving how the cool night air was soothing my frayed nerves .

I had to see her today , no matter what .

Even if it was to corner her and force her to listen to me … I had to .

I was so deep in thought that I didn’t know I had been walking in the direction of the Beta House .

It wasn’t until I was standing at the gate that I realized that .

I wanted to turn back , Dack to the direction I had come from but then , I remembered

Nathan bragging about Lyla being in his house .

In the end , I let my curiosity get the better of me and walked into the compound .

For a moment , I contemplated going to knock on the doors , like I had done the last time I was here to arrest Nathan but it was late and everyone would be asleep .

Sighing , I circled the main building … looking at the windows , wondering which of the rooms Lyla was sleeping in at this

moment .
