12. Tension

The tension in the air almost made it hard to breathe, and I tried to figure out why Conner left and who Isaac was.

My eyes drifted around his office, taking in the bookshelves lining the wall, the darkness that filled this place, and that heavenly scent.

Wondering if Liam had an office, I asked Isaac. “Does Liam have an office?” I asked, trying to start a conversation.

But he only huffed, not speaking a word. And then it hit me, crap.

He has to be the Alpha. Why would Conner leave otherwise?

Shit, shit, shit.

I might not know much about pack life, but I remembered what Liam told me.“He is not someone you want to mess with.”

That was what he told me before I went and crossed the border. “Don’t cross the border. The Alpha will feel it.”

Shit, what was I sup—

“Fuck,” I flinched, Isaac suddenly standing beside me, stopping my trail of thoughts.

“Come, I’ll show you around.” He extended his hand, and I slowly glanced up, meeting his dark gaze.

Should I fear him? Liam does, I think.
