<div style="text-align: justify;">Drina felt a little guilty when Alick woke up. She knew how stressed he was after their encounter with another pack. They all were, but she knew that her mate, being the Alpha, was more worried than everyone else. He had to keep the pack safe and together, and Drina understood it well, as she was just as worried.<br/><br/>Relaxing when Alick seemed to wake up and realize he was home, Drina smiled when he told her to put on something more. "Very well, love, I will", she replied, shaking her head. "But you know nobody would even dare to look at the Alpha's mate", she completed, kissing him back and pinching his cheek very gently.<br/><br/>As Alick went to the bathroom, Drina stretched for a moment or two, and then went to change into her usual clothes - dark pants and a white shirt. She would eventually wear a dress, but only for formal occasions. For a simple conversation with the pack, that would do.<br/><br/>While she changed, Drina heard Alick's comment. He was probably right, everyone was still on edge after the recent events. "I bet you are right", she replied, finishing getting dressed and deciding that she would go bare foot. "I guess I will check on them. Will you meet me downstairs?", Drina asked, waiting on Alick's answer.<br/><br/>She thought it might make things move faster if she made sure that everyone was awake and gathered before Alick came down. It was something Drina often did when she was stressed or nervous. It was as though the Alpha female felt that, by moving things along, she would have some control over the current situation.<br/><br/>For now, though, she simply waited, feeling restless and hoping everyone would agree to have a conversation.</div>
