Chapter 52: Block You
(Amelia's POV)
Alexander and I returned to the Stone Pack mansion late, the ruins' memory still fresh in my mind. He'd walked me to my apartment building, unwavering in his insistence to carry my belongings himself. His presence was always commanding, and yet, tonight, under the faint glow of the streetlights, he felt softer, more human.
Inside, I found myself scrolling through my phone, unable to relax after the night's events. That’s when his name popped up on my screen. His simple text read, "Home safe. Can’t sleep?"
I hesitated, feeling a mix of surprise and warmth. His casual attention was something I wasn’t used to.
"Not yet. You?" I typed back, resting against my bed frame.
Almost immediately, he sent another message: "Looking through the pictures."
