Aaron's Side
Note:
Aaron's wolf knows Noel, but not her Enigma personality. Since Aaron spent most of his time with Noel, his wolf became attached to her.

Noel looked at Aaron.
Noel: "Mr. King... can you get up?" 😅
Aaron looked at her.
Aaron: "Why?"
"Are you disgusted lying under an Omega?" 😑
Noel quickly shook her head.
Noel: "No! Not at all."
"But..." 😳
Aaron interrupted her.
Aaron: "Stay still."
Noel blinked.
Noel: "Okay..." 🙂
Aaron hugged her tightly.
One arm wrapped around her waist while he rested comfortably against her.
Noel's breathing hitched.
Noel (thinking): Mr. King...
He's... kind of cute.
Wait a minute...
Why is he hugging me like this? 😳
Aaron closed his eyes.
Aaron (thinking): Why is this human so comfortable...? ❤️

Ashley's Side
Ashley looked at the man who had brought her away.
Then she looked at the hand holding hers.
Ashley: "Can you let go now?" 😑
The man looked down.
Man: "Huh?"
"Oh... okay."
He immediately let go.
Ashley crossed her arms.
Ashley: "I'm Ashley."
The man shrugged.
Man: "So?" 😐
Ashley frowned.
Ashley: "Idiot!"
"If I introduced myself, introduce yourself too!" 😤
The man scratched his head.
Man: "Oh..."
"I'm Noah."
Ashley looked at him carefully.
Ashley (thinking): He looks familiar...
Suddenly she pointed.
Ashley: "Huh?"
Noah: "What happened?"
Ashley widened her eyes.
Ashley: "What's that?"
Noah: "What?"
Ashley: "Is that a sna—"
Noah turned to his right.
A snake was hanging from a branch.
Noah: "AHHHH! A SNAKE!" 😱
He instantly grabbed Ashley in fear.
Ashley was stunned.
Ashley: "What the...?" 😶
Trying not to laugh, she gently pulled the snake away and set it aside.
Noah quickly fixed his clothes, pretending nothing had happened.
Ashley covered her mouth.
Noah pointed at her.
Noah: "Don't you dare laugh." 😤
Ashley smiled.
Ashley: "Sorry." 🤭
After a moment, she became serious.
Ashley: "By any chance..."
"Do you know that red-eyed monster?"
Noah looked confused.
Noah: "Which one?"
Ashley: "The one who disappeared with Noel."
"It never came back."
Noah noticed the worry on Ashley's face.
Noah: "Why?"
"Do you actually care about that monster?"
"It's just a monste—"
Slap!
Noah froze.
Ashley looked at him with teary eyes.
Ashley: "Don't call him 'just a monster.' 🥺"
