h.As the day drew to a close,Janet found herself torn between her desire to return home and the intense connection she felt with Oliver. She knew she had to make a decision soon, and her conversation with Derek only added to her confusion."Hey, babe," Derek's voice came through the phone. "I've been trying to call you for hours. Are you okay? When are you coming back?"Janet took a deep breath before responding. "I'm okay, Derek. I'm still at the Alpha's pack. I don't know when I'm coming back yet. I'll let you know soon."There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Janet could feel Derek's frustration through the phone."Janet, you've been gone for weeks. What's going on?

I just wish things were different."Janet reached out and placed a hand on his arm, trying to reassure him. "Me too, Oliver. Me too."The two stood there in silence for a few moments, both lost in their own thoughts. Finally, Janet spoke up. "I should start packing. My flight leaves in a few hours."Oliver nodded, still not meeting her eyes. "I'll help you."Together, they walked back to Janet's room and began packing her things. Janet tried to focus on the task at hand, but her mind kept wandering to Oliver and the pack. As they finished up, Oliver took her hand and looked deeply into her eyes."Janet, I know we haven't seen each other for long, but I feel like we have a connection that goes beyond time. I don't want to lose that. Please promise me that you'll come back soon."Janet's heart swelled with emotion, and she found herself wanting
