I froze for a minute, staring at Alpha Ryder's back. He looked calm as he flipped the pages of the book he held, his head moving from one side to the other as he scanned the pages of the book. Both Mabel and I stood still. He was not facing us, so we could walk out without disturbing him, right? But knowing him, he would make a fuss about it. I glanced at Mabel, who had her eyes on him. He pushed his chair back and stood up, then turned around. I felt I read his body language wrong, but he jolted back once he spotted us. His eyes lingered on mine and, with Mabel's lead, we bowed. “Good day, alpha,” we both chorused. He hummed and walked out of the library with a paper in hand. I did not want to believe Alpha Ryder was the owner of the apology letter I saw. Does that mean he was in love
