Chapter 42


    The next week was horrendous. The day after Kade left in a rage, I tried to call Gannon only to find out


    my credit had run out from texting Kade and ringing him. Plus, I rang the castle and got their answering


    machine, not realizing it didn’t automatically disconnect when no one answered


    But that wasn’t the strangest thing, though. I checked all through the phone, and I couldn’t find his


    messages or his phone number anymore My phone book ispletely empty, and my messages are


    empty. The only number that remained was Kades.


    I ran out of food on the second day. Kade always had some excuse not to visit, or when he did, it was


    only briefly, and he quickly killed any excitement I had about seeing him. I never seemed to do anything


    right, yet today I waspletely depleted. My energy reserves died along with any motivation. I missed


    home terribly. I never thought I would feel at home at the castle, buting here, I missed it.


    I missed Gannon: I missed rice, even Peter, though he drove me up the wall. Most of all, I missed


    Ivy. She was my safe ce. The one person who only wanted the best for me. She was more than my


    friend. She was my strength, my armor, and my reason for living.


    All morning Ized around but knowing Kade was supposed toe over today, I decided I needed to


    do my washing. So I hand scrubbed my dress, knowing it would take all day to dry, when Kade’s voice


    boomed in my head.


    “Why aren’t you answering your phone?” he asks. I blink and answer back only to remember I can’t.


    Cursing, I listen only to hear my phone ringing. I raced back inside and managed to scoop it up to see


    Kade’s number pop up on the screen. Answering it, he instantly starts talking.


    “Love, the King and Ivy are trying to call you. Answer your phone when they ring back.”


    1 nced at the screen and noticed the writing on the front with the phone emblem. “Okay. When will


    you stop by?” I ask him.


    “Today. I have good news for you. Alpha Brock said I cane to pick Tyson up next week. Would you


    like toe with me?” i chewed my lip. I never wanted to go back there again, but for Tyson, I would


    suck it up.


    “He really said that?” I ask. “Wait, does that mean I aming to the packhouse?” I ask. Finally,


    everything was turning out the way it was supposed to be


    “Yes, of course. I will message the King and let him know to call you back, okay? I love you,” he says,


    and I murmur it back before he hangs up. But he was getting Tyson, and I was moving to the


    Packhouse. I couldn’t wait to speak to Ivy. It felt like forever since I spoke to her.


    Not even a few minutester, my phone rings as I step out to peg up thest of theundry.


    “Finally, you called!” I squeal, unable to contain my excitement. Even better was that I could see her


    face if I wanted, yet trying to figure out how to turn my camera on without help was extremely difficult,


    yet the King was patient as he talked me through it. I cried excitedly. waving to her and gushing about


    how much I missed her when I finally saw her face peering back at me.


    “Where are you? You look like you’re outside?” Ivy asks while squinting into the camera at the


    background.


    “At the cabin. I was hanging out washing and didn’t hear my phone. Plus, I ran out of credit. I have


    been trying to reach you for days. I have been so worried about you. Kade said the King caught you


    before you could get to the bridge?” I ask her, and she chews her lip, ncing away briefly


    “And someone could have told me how to hang up, too. I rang the castle phone, but it went to some


    message machine and ate all my credit,” Iugh. It was as if the first time in days, I could breathe, and


    all it took was hearing her voice.


    “Your mate hasn’t put credit on it for you?” Kyson asks over Ivy’s shoulder. I squinted at the screen, and


    my eyes went wide. “Sorry, my King. I didn’t see you in the background,” I say. I thought he left after he


    exined the camera to me. His presence made me a little nervous now. I realized he was behind her


    all this time.


    “It’s fine, Abbie. I’m not angry with you.” The King tells me, and I chewed my fingernail and nodded but


    didn’t say much knowing he was right there listening in i sigh.


    “So, do you like it there?” Ivy asks, and I shrug, I couldn’t say much with Kyson there. What if he told


    Kade if I said I wasn’t happy here? Besides, everything would be okay after next week when I can


    finally move into the Packhouse and bring Tyson home.


    “Yeah, it’s not bad. Hees during the day, but it has been two days since I saw himst. He says he


    is always busy with work and sleeps there sometimes I tell her


    Kyson growls behind her, and Ivy peeks over her shoulder at him, and I wonder if I said anything bad


    that would get me in trouble with Kade. I couldn’t risk angering him, knowing Tyson was so close to


    coming back home with me.


    “What about the people in his pack? Do you like them? Did you make any friends?” ivy asks.

    “I haven’t met any of them yet. He said soon, but I need to stay at home first. He thinks I will go into


    heat soon because I keep getting the worst stomach cramps. I asked him to take me to see a pack


    doctor because I don’t think it is that. My chest feels really tight, and it hurts. I actually thought I was


    having a heart attackst night. It’s not just my stomach, and I feel fine on days when he doese


    here,” I admit before realizing I was saying more than I should. The King growls behind her again, and


    she peers over at him.


    “I like it other than that, but I am hoping he will take me to visit you soon. He promised I could.” I tell


    her, trying to do damage control. Ivy Smiled, also liked that idea

    “If he can’t Abbie, I will send Gannon toe and pick you up to bring you here,” Kyson tells me.


    “Really? I never got to say goodbye to Gannon. He walked off before I could,” I tell him, remembering


    the day I left. I turned away for a few seconds, turned back, and he was nowhere to be seen.


    “Yes, if he can’t bring you here, I will send Gannon. I will put your phone on my n so you don’t run


    out of credit too. That way, you can call Ivy whenever you like.” Kyson tells me. When I hear tires on


    the driveway, excitement bubbles within me, and I can’t wait to tell Kade that the King said he would


    send someone to pick me up so I could visit Ivy. Or maybe we would stop on our way back from picking


    up Tyson. I know Ivy would love to see him.


    “Oh, oh, I hear a car. I think he is here.” I babble excitedly. “I love you, but I have to go,” I tell her,


    wanting to tell Kade the King that I could visit.


    “Love you too,” Ivy replies.


    “More than my life.” I smile.


    “More than my life,” Ivy replies before I hang up. I rushed out to the driveway, only to stop in my tracks,


    realizing it wasn’t Kade. It was that car again, parked along the road. My brows furrow. Maybe it was a


    simr car.
