- ALEX (ELISE)
The next morning, I walked into the Bloodfang Tower with a knot of dread in my stomach. I had my binder on, the wig was secured under a beanie, my body swallowed by another oversized, ugly brown sweater, and a double dose of cheap cologne was masking my scent as best I could. I was back in the Alex Jones disguise, but I felt like a ghost haunting my own body.
I went straight to the executive floor, bypassing my cubicle. His secretary, a stern-looking Beta woman, gave me a disapproving look but didn't stop me as I approached the massive oak doors of Liam's office.
I took a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and knocked.
"Come in," Liam's deep voice called out from inside.
I pushed open the door and stepped inside. He was standing by the window, looking out over the city.
