 ADRIANA.
 An alpha mate at that.
 –
 to be mear him but i can’t give her that,
 My heart thrums as i try to make sense of the hurricane inside of me, feeling the agitated pull of my
wolf which scares me, she wants him when he’s running from that. 1
 But I’m just not good enough for him, that is obvious, but I don’t really care. I’m good enough for
myself. (1)
 I smile bitterly as I grab my right sleeve and tear it off, looking at my arm.
 Scars are only a reminder of a story that is worthy of being told to future generations.
 I’m Adriana Hidalgo, I’m not going to sit here and wallow. 1
 Even if it’s hard to pretend to be ok.
 I get up and walk to the window, scanning the grounds of the large mansion, gazing down as my heart
skips a beat. I stare at the man who is running his fingers through his hair, clearly,
 he didn’t have a call to make…
 He tenses and I see him turn sharply towards my window. It’s dark in here, but even if he can see me, I
don’t care. I slowly back away from the window, not knowing what to do. It’s a while later and there’s a knock on the door and I look up. I’ve already changed and I’m pacing the
room, a thousand emotions coursing through me.
 “Hey, I brought dinner…” Valerie trails off as her eyes fall on the torn dress that I had tossed on the
bed, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.
 “I’m sorry, did the dress- I mean I didn’t buy it for that reason, I just – I’m sorry. I didn’t mean you need
to cover them. It was mo-”
 “Hey, relax.” I look at my arms, “No worries, I’m not offended. I don’t know why I did that. So, how are
things going, what is our next step?”
 She sits down, placing the tray down, and I know I’ve successfully shifted her attention from the dress
when she sighs.

 “Well, there’s a plan in place, but it’s not going to be
 easy…”
 She begins telling me about the details of the meeting and the plans they have. I nod slowly.
 “I see…”
 “Eat! It’s getting cold. I’m sorry you couldn’t join us today,” she says, smiling apologetically.
 I pick up my fork and shake my head, “Oh no, it’s fine. I wasn’t up to it. So, this is your brother’s pack. I
haven’t met him yet, does he have a luna?” I ask nonchalantly, biting into a potato.
 “No…” she says, forcing a smile.
 I’m not one to pry but there’s a story there…
 “But?”
 “No buts.” She smiles and I raise an eyebrow, feigning playful curiosity.
 “There’s something there,” I say, smiling at her as I drink my juice.
 She looks down. “He… once was in love with someone and I don’t think he’s ready yet to settle down,
although I wish he did. He isn’t getting any younger!”
 It’s a conversation she doesn’t want to go into, and I don’t think I want to know either. Somehow it
stings, and it really shouldn’t, I don’t even know him.
 “I see… Umm, Valerie?”
 “Yeah?”
 “I know things are going to go down soon and I want to be out there helping with the mission. Think you
could look after Ada?”
 “Of course, she’s our pack member. But I don’t think anyone’s going to send you into the midst of
danger. We will have a plan we’ll work on together.”
 I nod. “Well then, I’m leaving tonight. I’ll stay with Anthony and Damien until I’m needed.”
 Her face falls. “You heard the conversation,” she states quietly. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 1
 She’s smart, that’s for sure.
 “Maybe a little, but it’s no big deal. I don’t feel comfortable here anyway.” I shrug, gulping down my
juice. 2

 She’s silent before she looks towards the door. “What are Zade’s thoughts on you leaving?”
 “Do you really think he’ll stop me?” I cock a brow, we both know Zade enough to know he doesn’t force
people, anyone, to stay.
