“Thank you, Alpha Cole, | appreciate it. We'll speak after the holidays then?” | answer, smiling at the man on the
screen.
He beams and givesa nod. “You are most welcome, Alpha Zaia, that sounds. great. We will meet two full
moons from now then.”
“I will look forward to it,” | reply before bidding him farewell and ending the video call.
| exhale in relief, unable to stop the smile from crossing my lips.
“Yes!” | exclaim, excitement coursing throughas | spin around in my office chair and gaze out at the snow
that fills the skies outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The view itself is breathtaking, away from the city and the skyscrapers. It's winter, and snow fills the white skies,
covering the mountain and homes in blankets of white.

This place looks like heaven, and it makesfeel at peace.
This is our temporary home, here in the mountains. I've been working on a project for the last three months and
it was much easier to simply move here to overlook it for a period of time. I'm almost ready to return home, and
although Christmas is just around the corner, | can’t afford to leave right now.
The children will be heading back though. Dad is also spending Christmas over at Sebastian's pack. Over the last
few years, he and Aran have mended their
relationship, and Dad is seeing someone now, too. Although he wants to officially introduceto her when we
return.
| am excited for him. For once he seems genuinely happy in a relationship, and it’s not one where he’s being
cheated on or one made by the goddess. As long as he’s happy, | am happy for him.
| am hoping to be able to get back htwo nights after Christmas and | can be there for New Year's.
“Mom? Is it okay forto cinside or are you working?” Zion's quiet voice
comes.
“I'm done. You con in.”
The door opens and there he stands, my ten-year-old prince, who is now slightly taller than me. With every
passing year, he has taken on Sebastian's features more and more. Even the way he walks is like his father’s.
He comes over and hugsfrom behind my chair, kissing the side of my head.
“Then con down. Dad will arrive real soon,” he says.
My heart skips a beat, it’s the first tin a while that I'll be in such close proximity to Sebastian. Of course, he
won't really be coming inside as he had called earlier, saying there won't be much tbetween the flights. But
it’s the first tI'll be seeing him face-to-face in years.
“Of course, then let's go and spend what tthere is left together before he does. Is your brother behaving?” |
ask.
Zion smirks. “Nope, but Sia’s put him on tout right now. He keeps sticking his tongue out at her.”
Hmm, that one is a little devil... | don’t know what | did differently. | raised all three of them the sway...
| smile at Zion before | stand up. “Con then, | hope your dad can handle him for a full two weeks.”
“He'll have to,” he chuckles.
Since | left the pack five years ago, Sebastian visited the kids almost every other day, and would have them for
weekends at times or when | was on a business trip.

It was the swith Sebastian. If he had a business trip, then of course he could visit but would video call them,
just like he did every single evening, when he wasn’t around them.
Even if it was for a few minutes. It beca core part of the children’s lives and when they were with him,
they'd calldaily or I'd call them.
Sebastian has respected the decision | made all those years ago. The only the broke it was when | was in
labour...

section,” Valerie growls.
