I wanted to argue, to scream, but something in his gaze silenced me. My hands clenched the duvet as if it could shield me from him. I didn’t move as he turned and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. The sound echoed in the silence, and with it, a heavy weight settled over me.
I stared at the closed door, my chest tightening. I didn’t know if I was more afraid of him… or of the strange feeling bubbling inside me.
Swallowing awkwardly, I looked around for my dress and found it on the floor, but it was torn—torn by Alpha Nathan last night. Feeling uneasy, I remained on the bed as I waited for Alpha Nathan to come in. When he did, he was tying a towel around his waist. Awkwardly, I looked away as he removed the towel and got dressed, leaving me embarrassed.
Moments later
