Riley POV
——————————
"Alpha" some of my pack greeted me and bowed their heads as I passed them in the hallway, but I was to caught up in my thoughts about a certain girl to greet them back. I had to see her again, but how? Our pack has a history on her island and it isn't a good one.
Years ago our pack was a ruthless and violent pack. Taking what we wanted with no regard to how it effected anybody outside of our pack. My father was a horrible man after my birth mother left him, before he found his mate, the woman I now call mother. He was angry and greedy, trying to fill the hole in his heart with more power and territory. He went after the nearby Islands in his attempts to acquire this new power and land, and one of them happen to be the one Nikki was from. As much as my father had his crazed mind set on new territory, all his attempts eventually failed because the pack could not properly defend all the new land. After finding his mate he did his best to form, what is still to this day, a very tense treaty between the people of the islands. I would need to talk to the island Elders about going back so I can see her again.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I turned on the shower and realized while in deep thought my body, almost like auto pilot, had taken me here. I guess I needed a hot shower to relax more than I initially anticipated.
I will contact the island Elders and let them know of my plans to go back to Greenland, and wait for their approval of my travel plans. As an Alpha I don't really need their permission but because of our history with them I don't want to cut open old wounds.
Nichole and I have been talking a lot in the short amount of time since we met and I want to surprise her by making the trip to see her again.

Nichole POV
----------------------------------------------
"Riley has asked the elders for their blessing on a trip to come back here?" I squealed as I shot out of my seat to do a happy dance. Clearly I was thrilled to hear the news.
"Riley has asked the elders for their blessing on a trip to come back here." I repeat to myself as I quickly calmed down realizing what this meant. I plopped onto my bed as it fully sunk in and the nerves began to hit me hard.
"Oh my god Riley is coming here! What do I do?" I half screeched as I look at my best friend, Lucy, who had just shared the news with me.
Lucy's father worked closely with the island elders, and we all were sure that when the time came they would ask him to join them as an elder himself. Lucy just happened to be the best at getting information out of people and, had managed to learn of the latest request made by a certain man of whom I am interested.
Lucy gave me a look and rolled her eyes at my slight panic and nerves regarding the news.
"Nikki calm down!" She said. "It's still a week away!" she grabbed me by the shoulders and inhaled and exhaled dramatically expecting me to do the same. It was my turn to roll my eyes and laugh.
"But a week is so long" I said almost whining as I slumped the rest of the way down on my bed so that I was now staring at the ceiling.
"Good thing you have me to help it pass quickly" she said with a grin and slapped a pillow down on my face as she got up to leave.
"Come on, this calls for a special shopping trip." She said as she bounced out the door grabbing the keys to my jeep. She loves any excuse to shop, but the one thing she loves more than that is an excuse to drive my new jeep.
