"Zachary Wright. We called him Zach."

"Where's he now?" She quickly purses her lips and looks away.

"He's not here."

"Where's he?"

"He disappeared on the day of the ambush."

"What do you mean he disappeared?"

"His uncle was the Alpha who planned the ambush that took Selena's life five years ago. No one ever saw Zach after that so we assumed he got scared for his life and ran away."
