Victoria POV.
My dad! My dad's hitched breath sounded through the phone, and with it, my eyes began to water
uncontrollably. He was alive! He really was alive.
"Daddy... Dad, are you alright?" He couldn't speak! Every single t| heard him open his mouth to utter the
words that rested on the tip of his tongue, his voice would seemingly get caught in his throat, causing nothing
but stuttering to cout. "Dad"?!
"Victoria?" His voice was breathy; you could clearly tell that he, too, was fighting the urge to break down. It had
been over three years since I'd seen or heard from this man and since he had heard from me. It was a moment |

freely able to speak to each other. "Oh my god. Victoria, | love you so much. I've missed you; every single day, |
would think about you. How are you? Are you happy? Are you safe?!"
"I'm alright. I'm... I'm happy, Dadd!" | really was, but | wasn't entirely sure how to tell him about my mate. As far
as | knew, he wasn't happier with his own pairing.
"Thank god..." | heard him sigh deeply while a few sniffles left me. It was so surreal, actually being able to speak
and to hear his voice after so long. | loved my dad, and | really hadn't had the tto realize just how much |
missed him. "What about your safety? Is your location still unknown? There's been a few concerning reports."
"The safe haven isn't known to anyone yet; however, after Lewis and Dylan closed the borders, | think it's fairly
obvious where the rebellion is located." My voice held a slight sustain when mentioning Dylan; | was actually
quite jealous of her.

every turn. If Dylan says jump, everyone seems to shout-out a reply of ‘how fucking high'? No one questioned
why they would jump; they'd just automatically do it. It was
infuriating.
"Wait, the beta is there with you too?" | nodded my head at my estranged father's words, then sighed, realizing
he couldn't see my actions through the cell phone.
"Well yeah... his cousin helped to establish the rebellion in the first place, and his parents were aiding us in

shocked to find out that Royal Beta Lewis was Elias's son, but it made a lot of sense after hearing the Betas story
when he first cto reside with us, and it took Dylan to make the guy see sense.
"That explains how you were able to set up a cellular connection with me." If that's what he wants to think, then |
don't mind. | wasn't about to tell him that it was Dylan who, as usual, sorted everything. "Are you happy?"
"What's happening with you? They toldyou've been marked?!..." | finally asked as | thought about that man,
the one that Dylan shot, the shouts and screams that cfrom him as his body attempted to morph into
something completely unnatural to him. My dad's silence toldeverything | needed to know: the news of his

again."
