Pearl's POV,
When the door opened, it was the Alpha who walked in. He stood in the middle of the room for a while, but then walked closer when he noticed the look on my face.
"Are you okay?" He asked but I didn't reply. I was afraid my voice would end up breaking if I spoke and I didn't want to start crying.
He walked even closer and asked if I was okay again, and this time I couldn't remain silent as the fear that he might think I was intentionally ignoring him was what prompted me to say something.
"I..." I started but then paused for a moment to catch my breath as I felt like I was about to cry. "I... Just miss everyone," I finished.
I don't know why I bothered to tell him what was wrong with me, but I guess it was because I was beginning to start to trust him. Or maybe it was because I wanted to at least believe and trust him a little.
