Chapter Eighty-Three Elena's POV I was so shocked at my father's recent behavior. He had never been like this ever since we were growing up. "Mom, what are you going to do now?" I asked, staring at my mom's blank eyes. "What's happening here?" Ellen asked, walking out of the kitchen. "Dad left a few minutes ago saying he's going on a vacation and will be back anytime he wants to," I replied. "What? Why didn't you stop him from going? Who is going to stay with Mom for the time being?" Ellen asked, staring at our faces. "I tried stopping him but he wasn't easy and more so, you will be the one to stay with Mom. I have Kessler to take care of and the crescent pack really needs my attention," I replied. "You mean the Kessler that I just finished speaking with needs to be taken care of?"
