After a moment of silence, Jackson lifts his head, his eyes distant and haunted. "Leave me," he says, his voice barely above a whisper.
The others quickly file out of the room, leaving the Alpha alone with his thoughts.
Once he's certain he's alone, Jackson leans back in his chair, closing his eyes as he tries to make sense of the whirlwind of emotions swirling within him.
The news of maya has shaken him to the core, dredging up memories and feelings he's worked so hard to bury.
He thinks back to the countless hours he spent searching for Maya since the night they spent together. After that night…… Jackson couldn't stop thinking about her.
And she had hid herself so well.
And now, after all these years, it seems that his quest has been for naught – that she has someone else.
