" she murmured while her eyes were still closed " Almost an hour now," Carnelian replied "Ohhhh,why didn't you just lay me on the bed?" she said " If I do that,I doubt that you might not even sleep up to a minute, " Carnelian said " That's a lie. I've been sleeping on the bed my entire life,what could probably have changed, "she said " I didn't dispute the fact that you have been sleeping on the bed since you were born. I'm talking about now," he said, and when he didn't receive any reply,he listened to her heartbeats, and they were steady and constant, indicating that she is asleep again and he smiled at her Well then,since you said that I could have laid you down,I'm going to do that now, " Carnelian thought As he wants to lay her down on the bed,Adriena does not let him as she holds on to him as if he will be gone for a long time " You are indeed

I will eat anything avaliable ", she said so as not cause any more suspicion . She is not feeling well,but she is trying all her possibilities to look and behave. " Okay then.

I love dogs,but I don't think I have the time and energy to take care of one," she said " So it is a puppy that you have the energy and time to take care of?" he asked " Of course. I will put in my love and affection into the care," she said, using her hands to demonstrate how she would cuddle her future puppy " Okay,if you say so," he said without any further ado " Hmmmm," she squealed happily " You are that happy," he asked " Of course.

Be careful, don't trip, "he said " I won't," she said and walked normally " There," she said and pointed to a pet house. She ran to the place with joy, and Carnelian just smiled and shaked his head.

THIRD PERSON POV " I should differentiate between werewolves and humans in this vicinity?" she repeated the question " Yes,without using your smell ability. Not that it is 100 per cent functioning. So I have no problem with that, " he said causally " Carnelian!" Adriena screamed lightly, and this attracted people attention to them Carnelian looked at Adriena and back to the people, and he bowed slightly, telling them indirectly to mind their business " You screamed," he said " And you caused my screaming,I would be have screamed if you did not say my smell ability is not functioning," she said " It is the fact," he said, and Adriena gave up because he was actually right,so there was no need to argue because she would never win " So,tell me which one of them is human or werewolf," he said, and they both faced the busy people that were going and coming " That," Carnelian said and pointed to a man who was buying some fruits at a fruits seller shop " The fruits seller
THIRD PERSON POV " So for your last observation, before we call it a day," Carnelian said " The guy there," he said as he pointed to a guy on a Hood leaning against the wall The guy was looking around,like he was observing his environment. He seems alone and lonely, but his face can't be seen due to the hood heaf cover that was all over his head. " He did seem lonely," Adriena said " I can't say for sure. Being alone doesn't mean that he is lonely or alone, "Carnelian said " But I can say for sure that he is alone. A person waiting for someone won't stay stagnant to a position, "Carnelian said again " So,is he a werewolf or human?" Adriena asked " I thought that question was for you, " Carnelian said as he looked at his mate " Well,I will say he is a human," Adriena said " Why human?" Carnelian asked " Well,because wolves move in a pack and never alone. And you did say that he is not waiting or expecting a person with the way he is standing. And if he is not wa

What time is it?" she asked again as she did not believe her mate the first time " And why will I take pleasure in teasing you in the morning?" he said Adriena lifted her head up from Carnelian's shoulder, which she assumed initially was the bed. She took her phone from the stool beside the bed and checked the time herself " Oh my goodness! Carnelian! Why didn't you wake me up? " she said surprisingly " And why will I do that? What more did I want of you than a good and peaceful sleep? " he said " Oh my," that was all Adriena could say before she stood up She saw Jessica on the couch and went closer to her and ran her hands through her fur " Don't worry about her, I've

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. You will soon become a Luna, and you need this outspoken character," Mira said " He shouted at me," Eva said " He was angry," Mira counterattacked " This was the first time," Eva said " True Alpha tends to behave outragely wil
RAYMOND'S POV " How can they decline my offer?" I raged, and Eva has been trying all her best to calm me down,but it was not successful " I wrote to them peacefully, and they all declined my offer," I said, but she did not answer me this time around as she had been doing, and then I calmed down I breathed in and out and took a seat beside her " They declined my offer. All of them declined my offer. Even Alpha Jason pack," I said "They said that they don't need an alpha apart from theirs," I said " Are you sure that the people are the ones that said it?"

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?" Eva asked Raymond " That is what she said," Raymond said " Either the shifting is for leisure or not, I think it has been a long time since we've shifted," Raymond said, his wolf getting happy for wanting to take control and it all indicate on his face " You are that happy to be changed," Eva said " Yes, of cour
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?" I called again, really hoping that she would give me a yes as an answer and not just a sign, but she didn't, and it baffles me " Eva?"
