As the morning sun peeked through the curtains, Anna's eyes fluttered open, her mind immediately racing to the events of the previous night. Determination drove her as she quickly got out of bed, a sense of urgency propelling her forward. She needed to find Xavier and address the rift between them.
Anna quickly dressed and made her way through the pack house, her steps purposeful as she sought out Xavier. The familiar sights and sounds of the waking pack surrounded her, but her focus remained solely on finding the Alpha.
Anna's heart sank as she noticed the space where Xavier's bed should have been. A sinking feeling settled in her stomach as she realised he had already left for his morning run. His bed remained neatly made, untouched, a stark reminder of his absence.
