Nalya

Being back in the pack felt like I never left at all. People were gracious to me, while a few gave me strange looks. I guess they didn't understand why their alpha brought me back. As I walked towards the backyard, I saw Miss Nadia talking to someone. Seeing me, she gave me the biggest smile I didn't expect and rushed to hug me. 

I hugged me reluctantly. 

"You're back!" she said with enthusiasm. 

"I am. It's good to see you again, Miss Nadia," I said. She cupped my face. 

"I'm most happy to see you too, sweetheart," she said. She hugged me again. 

"Oh Nalya," 

"Is everything alright?"...
