~ Alpha Bastian's POV ~
The day has been going by as it usually does for me...dragging on as slowly as it can go, full of sadness and longing. As usual, I would have to force myself to get out of my bed and get to work. The only difference with today is I haven't been able to sleep well due to random pains waking me up every time I would try. I honestly haven't been sleeping well anyway without Laila here beside me and the not knowing where they are, but the pains made it even worse for me and I got even less sleep than I would usually get. The pains didn't seem like they were too bad, although a bit concerning to be happening randomly like they were, so I just ignored them. I got up and drank a cup of coffee as my breakfast, then went on trying to get through what I had to do in the day.
