"Hey Ari, I watched the memorial service today and something happened and it's kind of a long story. But I think I'm going to go back to my family, I have to. It's time to let them know I'm not dead"
"What? Have you lost your mind, Nicki? You know that's never going to happen!" Ariana was alarmed, she doesn't know what came over Nicki recently, just last night she told her she was going to attend the memorial service and that she was going to do it her way, which she kind of ended up doing.
And now, she's saying she wants to go back to her family. How was she going to do it this time around? Because the Alpha was not going to fall for this one. She isn't human anymore, she's a werewolf so she definitely can't go back to her human family.
