Chapter 22 SEBASTIAN I was still fuming about my stolen diary as I made my way to the kitchen. My mind was churning with possibilities—which guard could have taken it? Who would have the audacity to invade my privacy like that? I was so lost in my angry thoughts that I did not see the figure coming around the corner. I crashed directly into him. "Watch where you are going," a gruff voice growled. I looked up to find a guard glaring down at me. He was tall, muscular, with a scarred face and cold eyes. Anger flared in my chest. The Alpha's quarters area was restricted. No guard was allowed here except me and Torren, the chief guard. So what was this man doing here? "What are you doing in the Alpha's area?" I demanded, my voice sharp with irritation. The guard's expression hardened.
