Meeting Erin
Noel looked at Elda's hand.
Noel: "😶"
"Wait..."
"What happened to your hand, sis?"
Elda smiled.
Elda: "Oh, this?" 😎
She slowly pulled her hand forward.
And from behind her came...
Erin.
Noel froze.
Noel: "What the..." 😶
She looked at Erin carefully.
A beautiful woman with an elegant appearance.
A calm but fearless expression.
A cold and serious posture...
But somehow, she still had a warm aura.
Noel's eyes sparkled.
Noel: "Man..."
"She's so beautiful, sis!" 😍
"So elegant and..."
Before she could continue—
Aaron: "Erin..."
"What are you doing here?" 😨
His voice was filled with guilt.
Noel immediately turned toward him.
Noel: "Huh?"
"You know her, Mr. King?" 😤
Aaron looked away.
Aaron: "Yeah."
"I'll explain later."
"But first..."
He looked at Erin.
"Explain why you're here."
"And where are Adam and Ashley?"
"Also..."
"What happened to Elda's hand?" 😑
Elda became nervous.
Elda: "It's..." 😖
She explained everything.
---
After a few minutes...
Aaron's expression became serious.
Aaron: "What the, Elda..."
"How could you be so careless?"
"If Erin's father finds out..."
"Then..." 😡
Aaron started scolding Elda.
Meanwhile...
Noel looked at Erin.
Erin's eyes were slightly swollen.
She looked exhausted.
After walking through the night as a normal Alpha, she was clearly tired.
Noel noticed.
She felt something strange.
A warm feeling.
But she ignored it.
😑
Noel walked toward her.
Noel: "I'm Noel."
"And you are?" 😀
Erin: "Erin." 😑
Noel smiled.
Noel: "I think you're tired."
"Do you need to rest?" 😤
Erin looked surprised.
Erin: "Huh?" 😶
(What kind of Alpha is she...?)
(She's asking another Alpha if they need rest?)
---
Aaron finally stopped scolding Elda and looked toward Erin.
Aaron: "Yeah."
"Let's take a rest first." 😑
His tone became calmer.
Then he looked around.
"By the way..."
"Where did those other two creatures disappear to?" 🤨
Elda lowered her head.
🥺
It was the first time Aaron had scolded her like that.
Usually, Elda was always the perfect one.
She always tried to prove that she was useful.
That Aaron needed her.
She never wanted to become someone unnecessary.
But now...
For the first time...
She felt like she had failed.I kept the emotional tension, Noel's natural kindness, Aaron's concern, and Elda's insecurity while making the scene flow more smoothly.
