The next day rolled around quite quickly, but to say I had a good night's sleep would be a lie. I could always sleep on my own growing up, even after my mom died. But I had gotten so used to sleeping with Niall, that I didn't even remember how to sleep alone.

I knew I'd have a challenge sleeping without him. I learnt that from the day when he left. But it seemed like the extra distance away from him made it even worse. The minute I woke up twenty minutes ago, my phone was already ringing with a call from him. Turns out, he was even awake before me.

We spoke a while, but then he had to leave to do some early work. Everyone here was still asleep. It was five thirty in the morning after all. I didn’t want to wake anyone, and I knew I couldn’t go back to bed. So, I simply roamed around the house I've come to know from all my trips here.

I pushed through the backdoor, contemplating whether or not I should take a run. The sun wasn’t out as yet, but the aura of the morning was pulling me to shift and run. My wolf definitely loved the idea too.

I stepped further into the huge backyard, not wanting to shred my clothes, so I went to the shifting shack. I was so eager to finally use it.

Ty had it built for the wolves in the house who wanted to shift on any random day. There were random pieces of clothes in there, just in case an unexpected shift occurred and they ripped their clothes. There were also towels and blankets, as well as racks for anyone who might want to leave their clothes and come back after a run.

"Zoey?"

"Aaahhh!" I screamed as the voice frightened me, sending me running to the other side of the backyard. I probably woke the whole house with my scream.

I wasn’t scared but the person just shocked me, since I didn't expect anyone to be awake. When I turned around, I saw the familiar face of Beta Edward. He was Jody and Alex's dad and was the Beta before Alex took over. I never really saw him much when I came here, since he doesn’t live at the Alpha house, but I've seen him around.

"Edward. Oh it's you. What are you doing here?" Now a little more calm, I closed the distance between us and gave him a short hug.

"I came to get some herbs for tea. Theses old bones ain’t the same anymore" He laughed, showing me the plants behind him. I nodded with a short laugh of my own.

"I was just about to go take a run. I couldn’t sleep"

"Ah you're mated now huh?" He beamed. "Congrats."

I blushed a little, something that always happened when I thought of Niall. "Thank you. I came to England to see if I could learn some things. But I actually regret telling my mate to stay home"

He joined in on my laugh as he gently patted my shoulder. "It gets easier trust me. When he leaves on Pack business trips, overtime you will become accustomed to sleeping alone"

"Was that supposed to make me feel better?"

"I suppose..." He trailed, looking unsure. Nonetheless, I brushed it off and prepped for a goodbye.

"Well maybe I'll be here a few days so see you around?" I waved, but his eyes were stuck on my bracelet the minute I raised my hand. He pointed at it with his eyes narrowed and his expression void of all humour.

"Where'd you get that?"

I eyed the chain on my hand as my fingers involuntarily played with the wolf pendant. I gazed at him in confusion, not really sure why he seemed so serious.
