The tiled floor felt so cold on my skin. I wanted to lay there for a while until I had gotten the rest I wished for. I opened my eyes wide and that was when I realized that I had fallen.
Oh no! I had fallen and I did that in front of Alpha Ryder. I struggled to stand up quickly because his eyes were heavy on me now, but I couldn’t. My aching leg wouldn’t even let me. He was watching my every move. He was watching me struggle and I bet it amused him.
His eyes scanned me now. They were obviously looking for faults.
“My apologies,” I said, still struggling.
I wondered when I learned to start apologizing to Ryder. He didn’t deserve my apologies. He didn’t even reply to it.
“Bardulf!” Ryder’s voice echoed.
His hands caressed his long hair. He rubbed his face and turned his face away
