CHAPTER 28

Axel and Alyssa sat on the couch after dinner while Ethan excused himself. Ever since their conversation about the Beta,he had been looking for ways to get them together again. But one thing was certain; she could never end up with the Beta.

He was fun and the way his eyes lit up like a thousand torches whenever he spoke about things he was passionate about made her heart race and she found herself smiling at everything he said.

“Alyssa, would you go to mines?” He asked, locking eyes with her.

Her smiles gradually wore off till all that was left was a thin line. “Huh?” I asked.

“The thing is you're really skilled. You're a strong person and very ambitious too,” he said, gesturing with his hands. “But still, you need training.”

She scoffed, “I don't think so. I know enough to protect myself. I don't think I need something more.”

“If you're determined to stay within a circle you'll never find your way out. You'll just keep going and going but there won't be any progress,” He said.
