Hazel Gio has been gone for three days. I was starting to get concerned. Zeke, Asher, and Beau were trying to secure the borders and take care of the things that had been neglected in our absence. Addy spent most of her time eating and crying. We tried to console her to the best of our abilities, but the hormones were raging through her. Her little belly was slowly growing rounder with each passing day, and each time I looked at her my heart filled with a bitter happiness. It was a reminder of what I lost, but also of what I was gaining. By the fourth day, I began to hound my mates about Gio’s whereabouts. Even Collin was nowhere to be found. The men seemed to know what was going on, but their refusal to tell me left me in a sour mood. I was nearing my breaking point. The Gio’s absence
