"Why do I have a feeling all he said right now was directed to you only, Nicki? The way he was looking at you and everything…" Ariana, while watching Hanna and Astrid follow the Alpha out and give Nicki signals to head back to the Luna's lounge right away after training said, they probably wanted to talk to her concerning the Alpha's announcement.
"Wasn't it so obvious? It was, I thought he was even going to call me out for a moment or tell me to follow him out so we can discuss the shifting stuff since the moon will be out at night. But I guess he's still way too pissed to want anything to do with me again," Nicki looked pretty disheartened and it was going to be worse if eventually her guides are done with the Alpha and he still insists on them being the one to teach her how to shift, instead of him.
