[ARYA]
"Are we…How did you…Why…When did you—" Ken began, unsure of what he needed to ask.
There were so many things he was curious about. Did the alpha mean Samantha when he asked about the shift? But then that couldn't be because Arya never talked about Sammy anywhere. It was like a forbidden word in her dictionary, but what if?
Did Arya know his relationship or the crush he had on Samantha?
Was that what she wanted to tell him?
Did Arya know where she was? There were so many questions whose answers were unknown to Ken. He was desperate for those answers, desperate to see Samantha. He wondered if she still liked him. Whether she thought of him.
He wondered whether she had found a partner and settled down. To the world, Samantha was dead but to Ken she was alive, and he would find her and bring her home. He didn't care what the word would say and certainly not what the alphas would say.
