Thank you for visiting," Adriena said without answering her mate She adjusted her sitting position and rested her head on the bed board, folding her hand and sighing deeply. " Riena!" Carnelian said again and rushed to her on the bed and kissed her deeply Adriena resisted at first but later returned the kiss, Carnelian kissed her as if he had been deprived of firm care and loved all this while.

He should have been the one to cook for his mate as soon as she woke up. But Luciana, who was her best friend, first had him in that role, and he accepted the defeat. Nevertheless, that didn't give her the chance to barge in like that Luciana should have knocked before entering, which gave her the termerity to barge in like that.

Thankfully, Raymond was looking at another place It felt so good to see her in her birth clothes again. Despite the fact that she has been bedridden for weeks, her body is still as glowing as ever " Just don't drown," Carnelian said casually, and Adriena smiled " I won't," she said and went into the bathroom " Or better still, use the direct shower, not the bathtub," he said out of concern " I will be fine," she said While she was taking her bath, Carnelian was paying attention to the bathroom and Raymond.

THIRD PERSON POV What are you two laughing about?" she asked as she took her seat beside them " Hmmm, nothing," Adriena said sharply " Well, i have to have something go tell you guys," Sheila said " Really?" Adriena asked her as she looked at Luciana suspiciously " Guess what?" Sheila said, not knowing that her upcoming news is no longer a news " What?" Lucy and Adriena said, pretending not to know what she was about to say. They need to tag along and not spoil the vibes " I've found my mate," " MATE!!" Adriena and Lucy did not allow her to finish her sentence as they said the word mate together, and Sheila was surprised as to how they both know about it " How did you guys know?" she asked and looked at Luciana specifically " Lucy!" Sheila squealed, and the two ladies burst into laughter " What? It is a good thing, and now we will stop hearing about how a guy asked you out on a date and you rejected him all because you are waiting for your mate," Lucy said " Lucyyy," She

" Lucy said, and Adriena scoffed " How many weeks ahead?," Adriena asked, suddenly using her head to indicate that she was talking about the pregnancy " I don't really know. I just don't want to give myself the burden and unnecessary fear before the birth day," Lucy answered her while rubbing her stomach " There is nothing to fear, Lucy," Adriena persuaded her, and Lucy just smiled " I'm serious. You don't need to be afraid of anything, Taylor will be there with you that day, so you won't have to pass through this alone," Adriena said again " You will be there also," Lucy said suddenly " Pardon," Adriena asked her confusingly " You will be there while I labour," she sa

But we need to give respect to whom respect due," Adriena said " Mother," Eva greeted Adriena, and Adriena smiled as she gave her a hug " How are you coping with him?" Adriena asked, and Eva smiled as she looked at Raymond eyes " Everything has been good since you've left the pack," she replied to her " We've never left the pack. We are still under the pack," Adriena said, and Eva laughed " Yes, of course. You are still under the pack," Eva said " It's been a long time," Adriena said as she beamed with a smile " Yeah, it is two years?"

She lay on the bed and closed her eyes,meditating,thinking about nothing Mira noticed Eva silent attitude " Don't tell me you are deciding on going back into the shell?" Mira, Eva wolf asked " What do you think I should do?" Eva said back to her wolf " Well, I don't know. But we did a lot together, before you can be this outspoken.

Eva asked " No ma'am. But I was told to tell you to prepare for shifting," she replied to her without raising her head either " Okay. You can go," Raymond ordered, and the maid exited the room " Shifting?"

RAYMOND'S POV Writing and sending letters to the neighbouring packs and the one beyond,who have not heard about the True Alpha,telling them about it " You shouldn't make it compulsory for the packs far away. Just tell them that we now have a True Alpha, and if they wish to succumb to his authority, they are free unless they have a True Alpha at their region," Alpha Carnelian said " That's right. The packs that you want to rule don't have a True Alpha,so it is easy that way. But those far away packs can have a True Alpha that we haven't heard of," Uncle Taylor,father Beta, said " Okay," I said and continued writing the one I was writing initially before I got interrupted " I think that's all," I said while checking if there was a pack I had not written to, and when there was no,I stood up " Good," I said " When did you plan on going?"

RAYMOND'S POV I shouted at her for the first time ever, I could have done better. I could have made a joke out of it,but I chose to shout, and now she is afraid I might hurt her She didn't tell me that she is, nor did it show in her facial expression that she is. But I know that, deep down in her,she is afraid I might hurt her " Eva," I called her slowly, and she widened her eye orbit, indicating that she was listening, but I needed her to answer me not just with facial expressions but with her words " Eva?"
