I blinked, my mind catching up as surprise washed over me. "Oh...okay," I darted my eyes behind him wondering if there was anyone with him. "Alpha Lucien, you didn't have to personally deliver this message to me," I said quietly.

I gulped. "No!" I said, fear gripping me. "It's just that you are an Alpha and has more important duties than to come here personally and inform me." Goddess, he was a thundercloud, threatening to turn into a tornado and crush me all over. What did I even do?

I nodded. "Should I wear something special""
