Chapter 0090

Ella POV

Alexander and I left his pack’s headquarters through the back entrance, slipping directly into his car. He had the curious habit of driving himself around, which I found oddly endearing. With so many staff members constantly surrounding him, driving was probably one of the few moments he could truly be alone.

“I won’t have you subjected to their rude questions because of me,” he insisted, his grip tightening on the wheel.
