Chapter 17

Kylie POV

A knock on the door pulled me from my reverie. I whirled when the door cracked open and I saw Alpha Logan. He stood at the door, his eyes intensely focused on me. He was holding a folder on the side.

My checks heated under his intense stare. “Alpha Logan,” I said. “I’m ready.”

“And you look beautiful,” he breathed as he scanned my b*dy with his heated gaze.

I took a ragged breath in, not knowing why his compliment affected me so much. “Thanks.”

He came inside and handed me the document. “I’ve signed the contract, and here’s your copy.”

I took it from him with shaky hands. The weight of the papers felt like partial freedom. “Thanks again.” I walked to the writing desk, where I pulled out a drawer and kept the contract.

He offered me his arm when we made our way to the driveway. Everyone watched us with curiosity in their eyes. I couldn’t help but fidget. An SUV was standing with a chauffeur in the driveway. “I’ll be driving today!” Alpha Logan said to the chauffeur, whose eyes went wide in surprise. He bowed to Alpha Logan and gave the keys to him. Alpha Logan opened the passenger side door for me. When I sat in, he gently closed it before rushing to the driver’s side. We hit the main road in less than five minutes.
