Damien Maddox and I got back to the packhouse in time to send the children off. Liam was already downstairs, hugging his boys. Maddox told me he couldn’t convince Missy to go with them, said she was adamant about helping find Azalea. The former Alpha and Luna were standing next to my parents, looking a little grave. We decided they should leave in the middle of the night when no one will be expecting it. We also agreed that they should not tell us exactly where they were going; the fewer people that knew, the better. Lily had Lucas wrapped in a tight hug. Delilah’s eyes found me, and she ran at me. I caught her up in my arms easily. “I’m gonna miss you, Daddy,” she said, her little arms wrapped around my neck. “Daddy is gonna miss you too, princess. It won’t be too long,” I told her.
