Chapter 183 Cleo

• It did not take long for me to throw my things into a few bags. My Mum had promised she would have the rest all boxed up for the day of the Alpha ceremony in a few days’ time. So, I did not need to take too much with me today. I stood from my place on the floor, where I had been sat cross-legged along with my Mum packing, and she stood to join me. Emotion marred her face.
• “So…” she whispered, and I could hear the wobble to her voice. I did not want to cry…
• “I am not going far, Mum.” I tried, but my own voice betrayed me and wobbled equally as much.
