Alpha Kenneth's P. O. V.
As I left Ember alone at the tower and walked down the stairs, a series of thoughts invaded my mind. Thoughts like why she was lying to me about whom she truly was. I had no idea where she was from or who she was with, and she wasn't willing to share that information with me. I could sense the lies she told me back at the dinner we had yesterday. But I'm not here to force her to open up to me. She was going to take her time.
But I found myself genuinely interested in her. Not her life, not her past. When I first saw her yesterday, getting beaten by that man, I'd felt a sense of anger at the sight. Not just because she was a vulnerable woman trying to protect her baby. I just didn't know why I felt the urge to protect her by all means.
Ember was a strange woma
