'Here's the deal:, I know you don't trust me. But as far as I can see, you trust Adenos.' Said Aida.
Aida suddenly started talking, pulling Adrin out of his deep thoughts. He looked at her curiously.
'My grandpa doesn't trust you in any way, and he sees you as a threat to me, and I realize that we all need time to build confidence, so why not stay in this cottage until we overcome this confidence issue? Allow Adenos to accompany you for the time being He knows us inside out and can help bridge the gap between us. Once we establish trust, we can make an effort to come together. When it comes to my grandfather, I will effectively offer him with compelling logic that completely matches with his own convictions, addressing the same areas that irritate him. if you play your cards right, he'll see you as an ally, not some enemy. Well, at least that's what I'm hoping for. Now, what's your take on this thrilling plan?'
As Aida concluded her speech, she maintained her signature gesture of tilting her head to the right. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she raised an eyebrow, challenging Adrian to respond.
Adenos couldn't help but interject, his frustration evident in his voice. "Seriously, Aida? How can you challenge him while discussing the importance of establishing trust? How can you possibly expect an honest answer from him?"
Aida, who didn't expect this reaction from Adenos, hesitated for a moment. But her dominant Alpha personality kicked in, and she decided not to back down. She shot Adenos an angry look, disregarding him, and refocused her attention on Adrian.
As Adrian witnessed the conversation between the two close friends, he couldn't help but notice the powerful Alpha energy radiating from Aida. Its profound impact on him was undeniable, yet as an Alpha himself, he refused to yield. This realization made him happy. Discovering his own identity, realizing he was an Alpha, awakened deep desires within him."
He quickly turned his head away and looked down when Aida caught him looking. It hurt his pride because it had been a long time since he had turned away from someone is gaze. But it brought to mind that Aida was his older sister. He had to be respectful to her. He had to respect his alpha elders. Remembering his father's words, he smiled and realized how much he missed him. He was happy because he had begun to feel human emotions since coming here. It seemed like something was about to change; he just had to go with the flow.
"Come on, we're waiting for you to talk," Aida said impatiently.
"There we go," he thought to himself.
He straightened his posture, determined to show that he wouldn't back down, and began speaking without looking into her eyes.
Um, I'll accept your offer, Alpha Aida. I guess I need to hold onto something and belong somewhere in order to survive. If you specify the rules I need to follow during my time here, I'll do my best not to disappoint you. I understand why your grandfather couldn't accept me, hopefully you can convince him. Are you expecting me to only know you through Adenos? Or will you also come here and spend time with me? Adrian paused his speech when he sensed the tension in the room, and noticed Adenos losing focus in his eyes and engaging in a mind link conversation with someone.
Aida was also looking at Adenos. When it came to important matters, pack members had to communicate with Beta first. Although she didn't know what the issue was, she realized it was significant. She redirected her attention back to Adrian. Yes, I think I'll visit you too. I hope this way we can get to know each other better. I'm expecting you to follow Adenos's orders, which are basically his advice. He will not only teach you what you should and shouldn't do, but also train you as a warrior. Plus, you need to continue your education. For now, we urgently need to go back to the packhouse.'
After saying that, Aida pointed his head towards Adenos, indicating that they needed to leave, and quickly left the cabin, leaving Adrian alone in the cottage.
