AJ'S POV

"Diana?"
Alpha sprang up from his reading table, adjusting his glasses on his nose. He had silver-grey strands sticking to his temples.
"You mean you weren't lying about the heat, and it's no metaphor? Someone has the exact same thing Alexis had, and it's Diana?"
I nodded, my hands clasped together and my jaw clenched tight. I slowly lowered my head. If there was one person aside from my parents who was fully aware of my feelings for Diana, it was my Alpha.
"Where is she? Why didn't you come back with her?"
"She is staying with a friend."
Alpha walked over and sat down next to me on the couch. "Listen, son. The last thing you want to do right now is leave Diana alone."
"She's with a human. She's fine."
I had already filled him in on the attacks, the sudden burst of her heat, and her desperate need for independence, but I hadn't told him about my unhealed wound.
"Does anyone know about her whereabouts?"
