I can see the confusion swimming in her eyes. Her zeal to ask me why I'm asking all this even though Selena is dead and gone. "So... she was dating, huh?"

"Yeah."

"And what was the guy's name?"

"Zachary Wright. We called him Zach."

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

"Catherine." I call in a low, gruff voice that compels her to look my way again. "Where is Zachary Wright?"

"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."

I pause and stare at her, blinking slowly as I take in her shocking revelation.
