Adriana "Take it easy, Adriana," Alpha Carmen advised, his voice filled with concern. "Do you need us to call for some medical assistance?"Adriana shook her head gently, trying to regain her composure. "I just need a moment. I'll be fine," she assured them, the colour slowly returning to her face as the dizziness subsided."Maybe you should sit for a while, just in case," Alpha Abel suggested, guiding Adriana to a nearby chair because if he let her go, she might fall. "Just take deep breaths.""Thank you, both of you," Adriana said, gratefully sinking into the seat. "I don't know what came over me. I think I feel a bit better now. You guys don't need to worry. ""That's what you said before, and you almost passed out, just take your time," Alpha Carmen said to her, placing a hand on Adriana's shoulder. "We'll stay with you until you're feeling completely alright. Thank the moon goddess that the competition is over"Adriana took a few deep breaths, her dizziness gradually fading by t
Tristan povA few days later…."Sir, we've searched the entire territory. There's no sign of Adriana," one of my men reported.My fists clenched at my sides, my jaw tightening in frustration. "What do you mean 'no sign'?" I growled, barely containing the anger brewing within me."She's just... gone, sir. Nowhere to be seen," he replied, his voice tinged with concern."Where could she have gone? Without them noticing her at the border, she is just one woman and a team of highly trained soldiers can't find her" i said my voice slightly raised causing all of them to flinch back in fear as they tried to focus their gaze on me"Sir we have searched the whole territory, and they're no traces of her, it is like she just vanished or she managed to escape the border but that's highly unlikely, the security at the border is quite strict" the leader of the group explained and I felt like ripping his head off because he was just spouting out nonsense that isn't getting me closer to finding Adrian
Adriana "Are you sure the doctor has given you the go-ahead to start work?" Alpha Abel said as he gave me a questioning look"For the millionth time today, yes she has already given me the go ahead" I answered a small frown forming on my face, I know he was just concerned about me but he is getting overbearing.He is acting like a mother hen who just gave birth to her chicks for the past week, and Alpha Carmen is no different. They are making me want to pull my hair out."Are you sure? You still look pale. Maybe you should stay one more day, " Alpha Abel suggests as I glared at him"If I stay one more day because of you, I will stab you in your sleep," I said to him, causing me to stare at me in shock "You don't have to be violent, gosh," Alpha Abel said, causing me to laugh out loud as he helped me to continue packing my stuff. Then, a few minutes after they were done, Alpha Carmen walked into the room with a smile on his face, "I heard the doctor gave you the go-ahead to leave? A
Adriana's pov"Hey, Adriana," Lane said as he walked over to me, with a huge grin on his face"What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised to see him again because he left during the competition without a word, so I thought I would never hear from him again "I have a few things to take care of here, and I heard you'll be around for a while, so I decided to come and kill two birds with one stone, '' Lane explained. Uncertain of his intentions, I couldn't help but feel suspicious – we had only met that day."Well, maybe we can catch up later. We're quite busy at the moment," I responded, noticing the intense gazes of Alpha Abel and Alpha Carmen fixed on Lane, their faces revealing no emotion.Lane nodded, seemingly unfazed by the tension in the air. "Sure, just let me know when you're free. I'd love to chat more."As he left, Alpha Abel and Alpha Carmen exchanged glances, their expressions remaining inscrutable. I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to Lane's sudden int
Adriana pov"What do you want to talk about" I asked as Lane kept his gaze on Alpha Abel as he walked away, I didn't like the look in his eyes but I didn't say anything as i tried to gain is attention, "Lane, I'm over here""Oh, sorry, I apologize for zoning out. That was rude of me," Lane said as he turned his gaze back to me, "What were you saying?" "I said what you wanted to talk about?" I asked as a smile formed on his face, giving me his full attention"Oh! I just wanted to check up on you and ask how you're coping with this new pack?" Lane asked "Thanks for checking in," I replied, appreciating his concern even though I still felt uneasy around him. "It's been quite different from my old pack, but I'm finding my way around, and everyone is nice.""I know it can be challenging to adapt to a new environment. If there's anything on your mind or if you need someone to talk to, I'm just a letter away, and if you need me to come over, I will.""I'm appreciate it, but you don't have
Adriana's povOverwhelmed by their generosity, I nodded appreciatively. "Thank you, Alpha Carmen and Abel. I'm really grateful"Alpha Abel spoke, a reassuring tone in his voice. "In our pack, we look out for each other. You're not alone anymore, Adriana.""I know," I said as a huge smile formed on my lips"I have to leave now, but I will leave you in Alpha Abel's hands," Alpha Carmen said as he walked away, but as he got to the trees he turned back, "the party starts at eight, if Abel is still with you he can bring you over" "Okay I won't miss it" I said as we both watched Alpha Carmen disappear into the trees"So since you're keeping me company till the party starts, what do you want to do?" I asked as an amused expression formed on Alpha Abel's face "Why do you think I'll stick around till the festivities start? I might have things to attend to, like Carmen," Alpha Abel remarked, his amusement evident in his tone."Seriously? You're going to ditch me here alone with no one to talk
Third person povAs we got to the welcome party being hosted for me, Alpha Carmen was the first to welcome us, "welcome Adriana" he said as he approached us with a small smile on his face, then on getting to where we were standing he pulled me into a hug"Don't I deserve a welcome, too?" Alpha Abel said as Alpha Carmen playfully glared at him"Nope, you're not the bell of the ball, Adriana is, so keep quiet," Alpha Carmen said, causing Alpha Abel to pout"Come on, Carmen, I'm at least you won't disagree that I'm the life of any party," Alpha Abel teased, attempting to reclaim some attention.Carmen chuckled, "You may be the life of the party, but tonight is all about Adriana. Let her enjoy the spotlight for today.""This is too much, Alpha Carmen," Adriana said. A blush crept up her cheeks as her haze moved around the room"Don't say that, Adriana, okay, maybe I had other motives for planning this party," Alpha Carmen said as a confused look formed on Adriana's face"Oh, what other re
Third person pov "Let's move on to the main event," Alpha Carmen said as he led Adriana to the middle of the room, where everyone was already waiting "I'm so nervous," Adriana said as she held on to Alpha Abel's hands"No need to be nervous, I'm right by your side," Alpha Abel said as he gave her a comforting smile"Ladies and gentlemen, we have gathered here today today to welcome a new member to the pack" Alpha Carmen said as he turned to face me, "her name is Adriana and I would like you all to please welcome her" "Welcome, Adriana," the crowd said with smiles on their faces"Thank you all, I'm so prevailed to be joining such a kind and noble pack," Adriana said "Now that the introduction are over, we shall move on to the initiation ceremony" Alpha Carmen said as his gaze fell on me, "Join me on stage Adriana" Alpha Carmen added as Adriana immediately went to join him on the stage"Let us begin Adriana, daughter of the moon, tonight marks your entry into our pack," Carmen decla
