Ana

It's been three days since Valerian's death.

Guilt loomed over her as she walked to her dorm room. Ana always felt this way after a mission , but somehow, this time, She felt more...miserable.

Ana replayed Dodge's words in her head. "At least Alpha's safe now." She tried to console herself but the guilt only ate at her more. She couldn't stop thinking about Valerian. She couldn't stop thinking about him and his striking ocean-blue eyes, the kind that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. Those eyes were like a deep, enchanting ocean, inviting her to explore their depths, to get lost in their mystery.
