How do | get to the under-the-stair closet in someone else’s home?
A sudden thought comes toand taking a deep breath, | step out of the car,
shouldering my bag and walk to the door. Ringing the bell, | wait.
It's opened soon by a man in his late forties.
“Hello... Alpha?” he looks confused before lowering his head politely.
“Hello... Mr...”
“Grant, Alpha.”
“Mr Grant...”
| force a smile, pretending to be upset, although it's not hard when so many things are pushingto the edge.
One thought of Sebastian’s betrayal or Mom's death. brings tears to my eyes, and | take a deep, shaky breath.
“Do forgivefor intruding... | don’t know if you know, but this is the house that | grew up in... with my
mother.” | say, wrapping my arms around myself..
His face instantly falls and looks worried. “I'm so sorry. | do remember hearing that. | am sorry about your
mother. | truly am.”
“Thank you... | was wondering if | could have a moment to look around.” | say quietly. “Just one final tto
reminisce about the memories we shared here.”
“Of course! Right away, con in Alpha.” He says, quickly stepping aside.
| step inside, my eyes going to the under-the-stairs closet.

Could it be here?
I'm inside... but how do | send him away?
| walk down the hallway. It's changed a lot, but even then, the echoes of moments spent in these halls fill my
mind.
‘Zaia! No muddy shoes inside! Mommy! Look what | found! Zaia! Dinner is ready... Oh,
my favourite... Zala, will you be late? Take care of yourself... You will always have me!
Memories swirl around my mind, and I'm not prepared for them.
Mom...
“Alpha...” | look at Grant, who offersa tissue,
“Thank you... may | have a while alone?” | ask quietly.
“Yes, my daughter is upstairs... | will go join her. Take your time.”
“Thank you...”
He bows his head and heads upstairs.
Excellent.
| hear his footsteps fade as he heads down the hallway and I quickly walk to the
under the stairs cupboard and unlatch it.
The emotions are still threatening to consme, but | do my best to focus or
task at hand.
There are a lot of coats inside but I'm relieved that the floor is pretty empty, save a
few items.
Taking out the few pairs of shoes, | put down my bag and get to work as fast as
possible; knowing that he could cdown soon or perhaps someone could walk through the front door.
My senses are on alert as | quickly pry open the floorboard at the back. | work
quickly and when | have three pried up; | remove the insulation from the ground and
peer into the darkness, using my phone flashlight to help in case | miss something
I'm feeling around, doubt creeping into my mind when | spot it, a small black pouch
covered in dust, peeking out from the corner, wedged into a crack between two of
the bottom planks.
My heart skips a beat, and | reach over, tugging it out. Instantly | feel a wave of
power radiate from it and my eyes blaze, knowing that this is what I'm looking for
This is it. I've found it!
24
| quickly replace everything as swiftly and silently as possible. Exhaling in relief, | quietly step out of the closet
and shut the door, latching it. | walk to the bottom of
the stairs and look towards the landing.
“Mr Grant” call up the stairs.

| hear footsteps and a door open, and he appears at the top of the steps.
“Yes, Alpha, can | help with anything?” he asks as he hurries downstairs.
I smile. “Thank you for givinga moment...” | say quietly.
He nods. “You are most welcome, Alpha.”
Bidding farewell, | take my leave. The door shuts behindand a sudden thought
creeps into my mind.
If Mom had this with her from the start... why did she never use it to find Zade? Surely with the right manpower,
this could have helped Dad get him back...
A question | may never get the answer to, but deep down, | feel there's more to it.
Well, it’s twe moved forward with the next step.
Sebastian... | will find you soon and when | do... | swear upon the moon and the heavens that | will not go easy
on you. You chose the Sable, so now... you will face the wrath of the Sublime.
