“Marcel and Raphael?” I asked him, and he laughed.
“Marcel was the first to spot you. It was cute, really; Raphael figured you wanted to get Hardy to do something for you,” He said, and we both laughed.
“That obvious?” I asked, and he nodded.
“I guess I need to work on my people skills,” I said, and he nodded.
“Come on, we have an operation to plan. I can’t wait to see who Lori’s lover is. A jet is prepared to take us to Grizlo,” he said, and we left the
room.
I linked Kara and Eloise immediately to inform them. Kara said Marcel had told her, and she was getting ready, Eloise had decided to stay behind because she was too heavy to shift.
I was glad it happened now because I would be too heavy to shift a month from now.
I left Darius in the room and went to find Hardy to tell him what was happening and how he would present the matter of the letter at the King’s hall if the time ever came.
I knew he would jump at the idea because it meant he could keep his
secret.
I had the discussion with Hardy and then told him about Lori going to Grizlo, and he was willing to join us.

We were not planning to disrupt their meeting. We just wanted to see who it was and then arrest them. Since they had no army, I doubted there would be any fight.
I left Hardy and went to search for Casey. It was going to be more challenging to speak to him because of the emotional tension between us.
I had moved on, but it was clear Casey hadn’t, and maybe he never will. I prayed he found someone to ease his breaking heart.
While I walked towards his room, I cursed Lori. She wrecked a man to please another. She destroyed a home to build another man’s dream. I could not promise I wouldn’t destroy her when I saw her, but I prayed for wisdom to handle what was coming.
I hesitated before knocking on Casey’s door. I did not want to argue, but I knew I had to be the one to tell him that we were finally going to see the man that sent Lori to ruin our home.
I knocked.
“It’s open,” I heard his voice say, and I entered the room. He was packing his bags.
Casey looked at me and was surprised to see me.
“Zora,” he said, confused.
“What are you doing here?” He asked me.
“Lori is going to Grizlo to meet her lover. She should be there by now. We are all going to catch them. Darius wanted me to inform you so you can join us,” I said, and he sighed.
“He told you to tell me?” He asked me, wondering why Darius did not tell him himself.
Looking at Casey now, I knew why. Lori was our mess, and he wanted us

“I can’t wait to give that bitch the treatment she deserves,” He growled, and Sage surfaced.
“I hope you all know I will kill her when I see her,” He said, and I shook my head.
“The babies?” I said, and he growled.
“His babies. I do not give a fuck, Zora. You were mine. The only person that mattered in my life. My marriage was my baby, and she killed it. She deliberately killed it,” he growled, tears falling down his eyes.
“I will give anything to return to that day on the balcony, Zora. I will give anything to do it all over again. I would give anything to have you back in my life, but I can’t.
I do not get to keep you; likewise, the bastard Lori is with would not get to keep her and their bastards. I will have my pound of flesh. It is what she owes me, Zora,” He said, and I knew he believed every word of what he said. I began to regret inviting him.
“Casey, you need to be wise about this,” I said, and he chuckled.
“I was going to try with her, you know. I was trying. I really tried. It would have worked out. I was crawling, but they were still steps; Zora, I would have kept at it until we arrived somewhere. Now I know why I couldn’t fall completely. Now I know why my bond with her could not heal and complete me. She had stolen it from me and given it to her lover. I hate her, Zora. I do, and I swear when I catch her, she will be history,” he said, and tears streamed down my cheeks because I could feel his pain. We might have gotten back together had I not fallen in love. He would have never betrayed me again. But Darius is everything I have ever wanted in a mate, and we were now fated. Casey was buried in my past. Just as I faded away in his eyes once, he had now faded away permanently.

I walked to him and touched his chest. Then looked up into his eyes.
“I need you to move on and let it go,” I pleaded with him.
“Life is too beautiful for you to carry this hatred you have in your heart. Trust me, I felt the same way in Mountain, but I got over it and picked the pieces of my heart.
When I came here, I wept my first morning. I sat in the tub and sobbed. My heart bled. Casey, because something had been taken from me. When you let me go, there was a pain and emptiness that I could not describe. Knowing I could do nothing about it, I let it go and opened myself up to find love again, and I did.
It was slow and hard for Darius and me to get to where we are now, but once I opened up, we increased the pace, and now we are together.
I am sure there is someone out there for you, and I pray you will find a second-chance mate, so you will never have to fear the bond again,” I said, and he closed his eyes while his tears rolled down.
“What am I supposed to do without you? You were all I had, and you are all I have ever known, Zora. I do not know where to start, but one thing is sure. I won’t let that bitch and her bastards live,” he said and opened his
eyes.
They had darkened, and I knew it was rage. Every time he thought of Lori, that was when he felt anger.
He had been betrayed but did the same to me without knowing it. I kept that part to myself because I wanted him to heal.
“You have to keep the peace and let bygones be bygones. Forget about the pain and the life we could have made. Forget it all, Casey. We are where we should be. Don’t let it destroy your gentle soul. I have watched all the trouble chip away your compassionate nature, and I am afraid you will let it destroy you. Underneath it all, I know you are loving, forgiving and

strong. I need you to forgive the pain and feelings you have put out on parade stopping you from moving forward, Casey. I need you to truly let me go,” I said to him, and he gently touched my cheeks with his palms.
“You used to be mine,” he said, looking at me longingly and searching my eyes for a hope he would not find.
“Now you are someone else’s, and I know I have to let you go, but I do not know how, Zora. Every beautiful memory I have is with you. Everything I have, you are part of. How can I forget you when you are a part of my soul?” he asked me. I could feel his pain.
“I have learned to embrace my past and look to the future. Do the same. A beautiful woman is coming into your life soon, Casey, I want you to love her like you loved me. Unlike what you did to me, I want you to promise yourself that your love will be flawless and you will never betray her Start from there and look to the future. She is there, waiting for you. Do not let your pain and anger blind you. I will always be in your life, maybe not how you want me to be, but I will always be in your life,” I told him. and he sighed and wiped away his tears.
