The Mystical Attraction of Alpha
Chapter 384: Long Miles
I gasp a few hours later when I see the gigantic RV that rolls up out front of the clinic.
“Seriously?” Hanks says, crossing his arms over his chest and staring at it, somewhere between
impressed and revolted by the extravagance. “The gas mileage on that thing must be horrible -”
“Ohhh,” I say, laughing and swatting him on the arm with one hand, the other holding Rafe’s carrier where he’s already bundled and ready. “Don’t spoil my fun, Hank – you’re just jealous
because you’re not coming.”
“Yes,” Hank murmurs, giving me a good-natured side eye. “Yes, there’s absolutely nothing I want more in the world than to be cooped up in a tin can with Roger and Cora for forty-eight hours.
You’re right.”
I laugh when I consider this point, stepping closer to Hank and wrapping him in a one-armed hug that he’d probably rather avoid. But we’ve grown a lot closer in the past few days, working

“You’ll be all right here when we’re gone?” I ask, pulling away.
“Ah, don’t worry about me,” Hank says with a little smirk and a shrug. “You guys have bigger
things on your plate.”
“When I come back,” I say, looking at him seriously now, hoping he understands how much he means to me to all of us. “We’re going to do big things, okay? Help a lot of people. With the gift,
and with your skills.”
“That’s all I want, Ella,” Hank says seriously, giving me a nod and a little smile that’s likely the most emotion I’m going to see from him anytime soon. But then his eyes drift to Cora and Roger who come through the door of the clinic and I know…well, I know that what Hank says about this being all he wants is a little bit of a lie. And my heart aches for him because I know now, for sure, that he’ll never get it.
I purse my lips a little, trying not to let him see me pity him. But he catches me in the act.
“Don’t,” Hank sighs, shaking his head at me. “I’m good, Ella I really am.”
“I know,” I say, putting a hand out to his shoulder. He gives me a sad little smirk before turning back into the clinic intent, clearly on busying his mind so that he doesn’t have to think about her Cora and Roger call brief goodbyes to Hank before coming to my side to admire the RV
