We're not done yet

Diane's POV 

"Hector? It's unusual for you to come this early." I was surprised when I opened the door to find my boyfriend standing there. His presence made me happy because it was rare for him to visit so early in the morning. 

Hector is the alpha of this region, always busy with the company and other business matters. His busyness is what makes our meetings so rare. Especially when his duties involve the pack, Hector is always quick and efficient in handling matters. His leadership is undeniable, making him a highly respected alpha among the entire pack. 

However, something was different about Hector's expression this morning. He looked cold and rigid, not his usual self when meeting me. He didn't even answer my question; instead, he walked in and stood in the living room. 

"Diane." I could hear him call my name, but it sounded so foreign. Hector's voice was different, filled with seriousness. I was still standing facing the door, frozen in place.
