Chapter 0446
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?”
