Chapter 18

Alice

To be in the Alpha's office was to be in unexplored territory.

The whole space was marked by his scent, which made the smell thicken and fill every corner. That was intoxicating to me in a way I couldn't explain, and I was liking it more than I could admit. His scent was giving me some peace, allowing me to feel him close and, at the same time, giving me the opportunity to take advantage of the serenity that his presence would not intimidate me.

"Maybe I'm insane, but I could sleep with this scent forever," I admitted aloud.

The truth of it all was that the Alpha's scent was comforting to me.

And thinking about the implications of that gave me a headache, so I prayed that following the healer's treatment would actually work to get Selene back in my head. She was the only one I could trust, and I knew she could give me an idea of what was going on.

So I waited patiently, thinking of her.

Then the minutes began to pass extremely slowly, and my level of stillness reached its limit.
