Alison's P.O.V.
Going back to the packhouse was like a dream to me. I could not stop thinking about what that sales lady Ella had told me. And that look in her eyes! She was staring at me as if she wanted to hold me in her arms and kiss me hard. I could not get that strange feeling out of my heart. I was feeling suffocated for a reason. Who is this lady? What does she have to do with me?
"Earth calls for Alison!" I heard Don's voice. "Huh?" I replied in astonishment. "Ali, what's wrong with you? You haven't said a word all this time," Don said. "Hum, nothing much. Just tired." I replied and closed my eyes, avoiding any other comment from the rest of the guys.
My mind was working overtime. What if that woman, Ella, knew something about my biological parents? Did I want to know??
As we arrived at the packhouse, I stepped out of the car and thanked Don and my best friend for the ride. I stepped inside, and a very anxious Luna Evelyn was waiting in the living room.
" Hey, baby! Did you find something?? Is it nice? May I see you wearing it??"
All these questions came at once. The thought of the woman that raised me all this time filled my heart with love for my adopted mother. She considered me her child and cherished me with all her heart.
"Yes, mom, I found it!! I said, smiling, and rushed into her loving arms. I placed a kiss on her face and said, " I love you, mom!! More than you can ever imagine."
We went upstairs to my room, and I showed her my dress. She was so excited that I didn't have the heart to spoil it for her by telling her about my encounter with that woman, Ella.
During dinner time, my dad, the Alpha, saw me playing with my food and immediately realized something was bothering me. " Everything okay, sweetheart?" he asked.
" Yeah, daddy, no worries, " I replied, smiling back at him. He just stared at me and said nothing. I could feel the love coming from his gaze. I kissed them both goodnight and went up to my room.
I took a long bath to put my thoughts into order. Finally, I drugged myself into my comfy bed and tried to sleep away my worries.
Easy to say, hard to do.
I stayed up all night long and kept replaying Ella's words and looks in my mind.
I was trying to bury the awkward feeling of worry in the depths of my mind. And not recall it over and over again.
But then again, what if this was the first lead of who I was and where I truly belonged?
What if my parents found out?? How would they feel??
All these thoughts continued in my head until the first daylight. Exhausted, I closed my eyes and drifted into a dreamless sleep.
