FLASHBACK

"Wow!!" Tiara smiled, looking at the dining table filled with the breakfast cooked by her mother. She had a strong desire to eat the food she had prepared. That was why she had planned to burn every calorie that she would take in the gym.
"Thank you so much, Mom." She ran towards Sophia to hug her tightly.
"Thanks to you for keeping the kitchen full of all the stocks," Sophia responded. She thought that might be Wylder’s job, but nope, it was Tiara’s work. She had started keeping the stock because Wylder liked cooking and Tiara liked watching him cook.
"Then you should thank the person because of whom I did that. By the way, where is he?" Tiara asked, looking around and then at the table again, "You didn’t prepare buttermilk pancakes for Wild? You know that it’s his favorite from your hand." She complained with a pout.
"Sorry for asking that stupid question. There is no way you won’t have prepared breakfast for him. Maybe he already has his breakfast after all, he must have been very tired after training. She spoke more like she was talking to herself.
She walked towards her room in search of him and also to freshen up before having breakfast.
"He is not here, Tee," Sophia said that was where her legs halted. She turned towards her mother to learn more. "He has some urgent work, so he left." She added.
"Oh, when will he return?"Tiara asked. Even though she wasn’t happy with this news. But at the same time, she knew that Wylder was an alpha. Any work could pop up at the last moment.
"I have no idea. It might take hours or days." Sophia said, shrugging her shoulders. "He kept calling you to talk about the same thing, but I guess you didn’t get a chance to use your phone during your workout." She added, knowing that her daughter would have done that intentionally.
Hearing this, Tiara’s face paled. "I... will join you all after freshening up." She muttered before walking towards her room again.
She quickly switched on her phone and received the message that Wylder had left for him.
‘Fuck!!’ She cursed mentally and dialed his number, holding her head with her other hand. She mentally scolded herself when she couldn’t reach him. ‘Maybe he will go somewhere where the network connection won’t be strong.' She concluded and started feeling guilty.
She wanted to teach him a lesson.
In the end, she ended up learning a lesson on her own: from now on, she would never ever ignore his call, no matter how mad she would be.
‘Me and my big fat ego." She thought and punched her hand on the wall in anger. A sharp pain shot into her hand, but she didn’t care. She deserved it.
She couldn’t understand what part of the answers he was looking for, but it shouldn’t involve any damage to him. A lot of wrong thoughts started poking her mind, like what if there would be some war between the pack or an attack from vampires or witches?
She couldn’t stop herself from thinking negative things. Her heart was pounding loudly with the thought of what if... what if this would be their last meeting?
‘Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! He wanted to talk to me before leaving, but I was busy with my own world. I didn’t get to ask the reason in detail, nor did I get a chance to give her a goodbye kiss.’

Wylder stood at the boundary of the Coven of Silver Flame. The coven from where he belonged. The coven that held the power of the air.
"Please let Zadok Bringer know about my arrival." He said to the guard instead of walking inside on his own. He watched that guard use air as a medium to deliver the message. After a moment, Zadok Bringer was standing at the border with four of his guards behind him.
"Wilfred," He walked towards him to hug Wylder, but he stepped behind. "I see, you’re not here to meet your father," he muttered, to which Wylder didn’t react.
"Can we talk? It’s something very urgent." Wylder spoke.
"You don’t treat me as your father, but you’re here with the thought of helping." Zadok chuckled more like he was taunting him.
"I… uh.." Wylder was at a loss for words upon hearing those words. To be honest, he really thought that this person would help him solve the mystery of his life.
