Chapter 59 – Wanting Her Found

“When you’re at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.“–Theodore Roosevelt

Third Person POV

Wolves work hard, but the Garnet Moon Pack works harder.

In the past three days, Alpha Anthony fell into a flurry of activity. After bonding Mikhail and Isaiah as official members of his pack, he pushed most of his efforts into recovering his youngest sister. He had attempted to reach out to Kiya through the pack bond after Phoebe’s failed spell work but encountered blocks. She had multiple blocks preventing her from being found. It frustrated him. As a last resort, he sent alerts to his allied packs for additional eyes on the streets.

Alpha Neron informed him of his search attempts in Nevada with his pack members. If there was one thing both men can agree on is that they know Kiya isn’t far away. She had to be in the vicinity, if not in either of their states. It was a feeling neither could ignore. Both men were confident with their combined efforts that Kiya will be found soon.

Sitting in his office, he busied himself with paperwork. Investments in stocks to new construction in San Jose to sending aid to packs, all caught his attention at once. There was no shortage of his duties; he had a pack to run. However, an unsettling stone of guilt rests upon his heart, pervasive at its attempts to seize his focus.

Sighing, Anthony set a stack of papers down and propped his head on his fist. He recalled the talks he had with his parents and how he felt guilty for sending Kiya to Zircon Moon in the first place. That feeling refused to leave. It stayed like ink to jeans.

“If only I didn’t send her away… Anthony thought, rapping his nails against the wood finish. It didn’t sit right with him that one sister was safe and the other isn’t. Lyria is happy as Luna of the Thunder Moon, caring for her husband and newborn son. When she caught a whiff of Kiya’s disappearance, she and Alpha Dimitri sent their best soldiers to comb through the state for her, abetting in his mission. Anthony was thankful, but still felt guilty.

His hopes rests with the Moon Goddess that his baby sister is okay. Anthony knows she isn’t dead, but the unknown still hurt his soul.

Suddenly, he heard small taps against the door with tiny giggles. Mahogany swung open, and a trailblazer waddled in, hopping into the Alpha’s lap. Anthony laughed as his daughter nuzzled her face into his chest, happiness bubbling. Luna Alesia also stepped in, sporting a gracious smile and a plate of food.

“You need a break, my love.” The Luna remarked, settling the plate in front of him. Anthony sighed heavily, using one hand to smoothen Ximena’s auburn mane and the other to pop a baby carrot in his mouth. “Any news so far?”

None.” His hardened eyes glanced out the window to see pack members living, prospering, and training. He spotted Jacqueline sparring with more force and energy than usual. Knowing her well, it was her way of coping with stress. He mind–linked both Dwayne and Abigail to check up on her. “But I am hopeful. Mom and Dad are out searching. Something is bound to pop up sooner than later.”

“Hmm.” Alesia walked behind Anthony’s chair and rubbed his shoulders. “Oh, mi amor. There is something on your mind. You don’t have to be strong around me.”

The dam threatened to burst from his eyes. Ximena detected her father’s melancholy and patted his cheeks gently for a smile. Anthony tried his hardest to give Ximey what she wanted, but the rock in his heart grew to a boulder. Alesia bent forward and smooched her husband’s face with the sweetness of sugar, hands caressing his biceps.
