Grant Shepherd was the Alpha Supreme, and you were an Omega. Okay, okay, you weren't just any Omega. You were Grant's fated mate. The Luna of the Pack. And that scared the ever-loving shit out of you.

So, you ran. And you hid. For four years.

When you finally got to a point where you couldn't do it anymore, you knew it was time to go back to your pack. Even though facing Grant's wrath terrified you.

For the most part, your pack welcomed you back with open arms. You hadn't seen Grant yet, though. "So, you gonna tell us where the hell you've been all these years?" Elijah's voice is light-hearted, but everyone in the room tenses, including you.

"Uhm... I think not, Elijah." You answered, hoping to shut him down. "Come on, girl. We missed you." Katya interjected. "When you left, Grant went Crazy." Adrian added. "We purged all ofY R.E.A.P.E.R., Rourkes guys, and built a new pack." Elijah explained.

"All so it would be safe and welcoming for when you eventually came back." Rowena smiled, clearly excited for your return. "So, you gotta give us something." Nolan pressed.

You freeze as their words sink in. Grant went crazy? They built a new pack for you? "What?" You whispered. Griffin's voice was sharp. "Drop it. Now's not the time."

But, you had to know the truth. "Griffin, tell me."

Griffin glared at the others before swinging his gaze to you. "We looked for you for years. Grant ran down every lead we ever got. It was clear you didn't want to be found."

"But we knew you'd be back sooner or later." Rowena piped in. "Grant wanted you to feel safe when you came back." Katya added. It was incredible and so unexpected. You were sure Grant would be furious with you after running and hiding from him for so long.

Then it hit you. Oh, god... you still had to face Grant...
