"Nicki?"
"Alpha?..." Nicki slowly turned behind to answer the familiar voice that called her after she had softly put Nemesis' cape back on.
"Alpha?..." She called again when she turned around to take a pretty good look at the person and ran as fast as she could to hug him, the moment their eyes met. Alpha Hank as if prepared for the hug had already spread his arms wide open to accept her embrace.
"Goodness gracious, it's you, Nicki. It's really you, child. It's so good to have you back" He kissed the top of her head when the both of them slightly separated from each other only to hug again.
"What happened? Where have you been? You suddenly just went missing and we've kept searching all over for you non-stop" Alpha Hank expressed with concern when he and Nicki were done embracing each other for the second time.
