The sound of Alexander’s voice spurred David into action, but he wasn’t fast enough. With two loud bangs, the door burst open. Alexander strode in, a look of anger on his face. His eyes fixed on me immediately and i saw the expression freeze as he took in the scene.

David was standing between me and Alexander with a stunned look on his face. Clearly, he was as surprised by Alexander’s sudden appearance as I was.

With sudden force, he surged forward, throwing a punch that landed with a sharp crack against David’s jaw. David’s head snapped to the side, and his hand shot up to his face, staggering back several feet.

David cursed under his breath and squared up to fight, but despite everything, I found myself smiling. I knew Alexander wouldn’t let him get away with this.

“Keep your filthy hands off of her!” Alexander ordered.

The outrage in his voice was unmistakable, and despite the terror of the situation, a thrill surged through me. I knew, deep down, that Alexander would protect me. He would never allow David to hurt me–not while he was around.

David muttered a string of curses, a sure sign that he knew how much trouble he was in. Alexander’s eyes looked past David, fixing on mine.

I found myself unable to focus on anything else. The rest of the room seemed to fall away as I was staring up at Alexander, his expression a mix of concern and fury.

“Are you all right?” he asked softly, his voice filled with worry.

Before I could answer, a blur of motion flashed through my vision. David’s fist collided with Alexander’s jaw. I cried out in shock as Alexander staggered backward but, incredibly, he didn’t fall.

“You’re going to pay for that,” Alexander growled, his voice dangerously low, eyes locked on David.

I leaned heavily on my weak arms and pushed myself away from the edge of the bedI felt both impossibly light- headed and unbearably heavy all at once, but even through the fog clouding my mind, I recognized something unsettling–the same dangerous edge I’d seen in Alexander the other night, when he had frightened Lily in the
