PRESENT

Arabella freshened up, and this time she wore decent clothes.
‘I needed all the material required for painting.' She thought about it and walked out of the room. The training was still going on, so she was positive that there wouldn’t be anyone in the Alpha office. And without anyone’s presence, she doubted that she was allowed to go inside alone, but she wouldn’t know until she went there and checked this on her own.
"Good morning, Lady Arabella." The guard standing near Wylder’s office greeted her, shocking her. ‘Lady Arabella’
"Good morning… Sorry, I don’t know your name." Arabella responded.
"You call me Barry." The guard responded before adding, "Alpha had informed me about your arrival. Please let me know where you want me to set up the easel and all the things that you need for painting." A small smile tugged at Arabella’s lips when she heard that. Even though he wasn’t there to stand by her side, he made sure that she wouldn’t face any problems.
"In my room. I mean in Alpha’s room." Arabella replied after thinking for a while. No one would disturb her there.
"Sure. Just give me a couple of minutes." Barry nodded his head and mind-linked Zahir, who didn’t attend today’s training.
"Morning, Bella." Zahir arrived there after a couple of minutes.
"Good morning, Beta Zahir," Arabella responded and watched Zahir’s eyes get scanned by the security system.
"What happened? Didn’t sleep last night?" Zahir asked, opening the door and walking inside while Barry and Arabella followed him.
"How did you know?" Arabella asked, watching the broken desk. Except that the whole office looked perfectly fine. She pouted, looking at the desk in disappointment because she wanted to break this desk on her own.
"Your eyes," Zahir responded and mind-linked other omegas to clean the office as soon as possible as Barry was collecting the things that were around the easel: paint, brushes, boards, and a few more things.
"Oh, Yeah!! Sometimes the demons of my life don’t let me sleep." Arabella replied without telling about her nightmares, and yes, Wylder was also the reason behind her puffy eyes. "And I doubt that even you got a chance to sleep last night, looking at the dark circle under your eyes." She pointed out that they should change the topic so that Zahir wouldn’t ask her to explain her previous answer.
At the same time, two more Omegas enter the office to pick up the broken desk and take them out.
"I’m barely sleeping these days; Wylder had to find... I mean, there are a lot of things on the bucket list, and we don’t have time on our hands." Zahir replied, not giving the detail that, before ten days, Wylder needed to find Arabella’s identity.
"Oh! You should inform your Alpha that your health is also important and..."
"No! It’s not that he is not allowing me to sleep, but I can barely keep my hands away from Breda. So, I won’t blame him completely."
Arabella chuckled and nodded her head, understanding the situation.
"Moreover, all these works are a matter of a couple of days."
"I get it," Arabella spoke and took the cue to leave when Barry was ready with all the things. Since Wylder’s bedroom was locked, she had to go with him. "You can use cold tea bags, grated potatoes, grated cucumber, cold milk, aloe vera, almond oil, lemon juice, rosewater, or tomatoes for your dark circles." She added.
