I could smell the hospital disinfectant through my mask. I was bundled up so tightly that even my hat was pulled down low. As the Eclipse Pack’s public face, I couldn’t risk getting recognized, or it would turn into a scene I didn’t want.
I slipped past the nurses and patients, taking the elevator straight to Emily’s floor.
Sure enough, Johnny was still waiting outside the room. When he saw me coming, he hurried over, his voice a little anxious. “Alan, what are you doing here? I told you I’d handle things. Go back, or you’ll get spotted and cause trouble.”
I frowned and ignored his warning, my eyes fixed on the door. “I’m not at ease. How is she? Is it serious?” The guilt from hitting her hadn’t left me at all. I couldn’t rest until I saw for myself that she was okay.
Johnny saw how determined I was and just sighed. “She’s alright, just a few scrapes. She needs to get an IV for a few days and rest, and she’ll be fine.”
Hearing that she was fine finally put my mind at ease, and my shoulders relaxed a little. “I want to check on her and apologize in person.”
Before Johnny could say anything else, I pushed open the door.
The room was quiet except for the steady drip of the IV. The girl on the bed was awake, so absorbed in her phone that she didn’t even notice me come in.

There he was on screen, wearing the official pack uniform. His posture was straight, his eyes sharp but gentle, and the confidence he carried was honestly magnetic,
He was the Eclipse Pack’s ambassador-talented good-looking, and the Ortegas’ heir. He had always been the person I looked up to, the one I wanted to be like, so I could contribute to the pack.
“He’s so handsome…” I stared at the screen, quietly sighed, and tapped his face with my finger.
Right then, the door swung open, and a man came in, wrapped up so tightly I could only see his eyes. I jumped, almost dropped my phone, and quickly sat up, on guard. “Who are you?”

He pulled off his mask and hat, and the face underneath was even more striking than the one on my phone-it was Alan!
I went totally blank, my eyes wide, my mind wiped clean, and the words just slipped out. “Mr. Perfect, why are you here?”
As soon as I said it, I realized what I’d just called him. My hands flew to my mouth, my cheeks burning hot.
Great. Just great. Did I really just say that out loud?
I gave him an awkward smile, my voice shaky. “S-Sorry, I just said that out of habit…”
Luckily, Alan didn’t seem to care. He just looked at me.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and asked, “Alan, what brings you
He walked over with long, steady steps, and I caught a faint whiff of his soap.
