CHAPTER 99

~ Zara's POV~

The scent of pine and earth filled my senses as I stepped out of my car in front of the Crescent Moon pack house. 

As I entered, I could feel my heart rate quicken, anticipation and unease intertwining. I had no idea what kind of reception I'd receive, especially with how my last visit went. 

When I entered the sitting room, my mother looked up, and her gaze had a strange mix of relief and judgment. 

"So, you've finally come back after... fixing things with Ivan," she said coldly, yet undeniably grateful. "Whatever you did, I suppose we can thank you for buying us a moment's peace."

"Mother," Elias's voice cut in with a warning tone. He gave me a small, supportive nod before turning back to her with a furrowed brow. "Maybe we shouldn't act like Zara owes us for fixing Ivan's mess."
