Torn Between The Alphas

entrance to see the frame of my best friend step out. With blue eyes and bright blonde hair, Lillian had reappeared in the flesh. In a rush I walked and embraced her and sp

tion I had completely blocked out her words. "Are you sure you're okay?" She asked, her eyes filled with worry. "No. It's nothing. So as you were saying." I implored, She began to speak again, telling me about all her travels and events and I listened to every single bit of it, asking questions and making appropriate reactions to it all. Once she had exhausted the topic she rested on the chair and took a sip of tea the maid brought for her. "So, I've been talking all this while. What about you?

"Besides," she says in a brighter tone "you never know. She might be much closer than you think." For some reason, my mind goes to the strange feeling I felt earlier in the entrance and nod in agreement "Yeah..." Awkward silence ensues before she suddenly announces. "So, now that I'm here, I believe an outing is in order." "But you just traveled here." I said, raising an eyebrow "Shouldn't you be resting?" "Hell no." She made a pouting face which made me chuckle. "I'm not tired at all and I definitely want to see everything I've missed around here. There's no time to waste Cal." I
