“Trust is believing “I will be safe with you. Love is striving to keep the trust.“–Drishti Bablant, Wordions

After a while, the twins left me to rest. We decided to take the tour another time. I napped for a good hour until I woke up from a horrible nightmare with a loud shriek. For a moment, my mind plunged back into the dirty, smelly prison cell with former Alpha Jonathan standing over me with his fists raised. He was beating my small body with the rage of a god before he morphed into an enormous black wolf, golden eyes bleeding bloodlust. All I saw before I woke up was the drooling, sharp jaws of a feral wolf.

To take my mind off the nightmare, I tried on the clothes and pajamas in my closet, overwhelmed by the assorted fabrics. I loved the capri pajama sets the most, the cotton materials were soft, like clouds on a sunny day. They smelled sweet, too! I also tried on the other casual clothes in the closet, ranging from jeans to cardigans to blouses to tunic shirts. All in all, I spent another hour and a half trying on my entire closet.

Only to end up in the capri pajama set because they felt so good.

Walking out my door, I decide to find Lyra and Nikolai to thank them for the room. But after wandering around the hallway, I realized that I don’t know where the hell I was going. I don’t know where the twins are, and I was not sure where Violet is. Mind–linking wasn’t a possibility because I wasn’t bonded with the pack. So, I headed back to where I thought the stairs were.

I remembered that Dwayne mentioned the Alpha’s room was on the top floor, so maybe if I headed up there….

Before I could reach the stairs, my clumsy ass ended up bumping hard into a brick wall. Or so I thought. The impact pushed me to the ground, landing hard on my bony butt. I groaned softly, rubbing my rear end. “Ow…”

“You’re the rogue.” My eyes shot up to be met with a very tall man who was a spitting image of Alpha Nikolai, except he had Lyra’s brown hair brushing over his eyelids and nape. His sharp jawline made him look dangerous, and his deep amber eyes stared into my soul. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know that this man

oozes power.

“Y–Yes I am.” I gulped down the mass in my throat. “I’m sorry for bumping into you-!”

The man chuckled, offering his hand to me. I graciously took it, admiring the warmth his hand radiated through my weak body. Slowly and gently, he pulled me to my feet. “No worries. If my mother offered you one of our rooms, you can’t be all bad, right?”

I blinked. “Your Mom?”

“Yes. I’m Anthony Guerrero, son of the Alpha and Luna.”

Oh shit, I ran into the future Alpha! Alphas were domineering yet nonchalant, but Anthony seems friendly, unlike Neron. Just the thought of my former mate made my heart not only boil in anger but in pain. Refusing to fall into that dark hole, I shake those thoughts out of my head, focusing my attention back on the man in front of me. “Nice to meet you, Anthony. My name is Halima.”
