Micah couldn't focus on his meeting as his mind grilled him with the thoughts of what Hazel would go through when she went to her family's house, what kind of options that she would be offered.
In the end, the alpha cut the meeting short for the second time before he went out to find his mate and this left his beta and gamma speechless.
In the past, Micah only found out about it a few days later, since Hazel was not that open with him in the beginning of their relationship.
By that time, Hazel had already calmed down, but still there was a trace of sadness when she told him that she had signed the paper, which stated she was no longer part of that family.
Micah also didn't want to prevent her from seeing her family, even though he knew what would happen, because it would alter the future.
He started to realize it, because when he did something different from what he had done in the past, what followed next would be changed as well.
