Chapter 175

Alpha Rolan's POV 

The room was quiet except for the soft scratching of my pen across the pages of reports. I had been drowning in work ever since Pandora was discharged from the hospital. 

There was so much that had piled up in my absence, but I didn’t mind. The monotony of it allowed me to escape from the whirlwind of emotions that had taken hold of me over the past few weeks. 

Still, I couldn’t help but steal glances at the clock, wondering how Pandora was doing with Kiara and Ashley keeping her company.

The knock on the door broke through my thoughts. I placed the pen down and leaned back in my chair, staring at the oak door.

“Come in,” I called out, my voice steady, though the intrusion had unsettled the calm.

The door creaked open, and Griffin stepped inside. His face was drawn, shadows pooling under his eyes. He had always carried an air of confidence, no, arrogance, but today he seemed different, subdued.
