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.

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