Chapter 48.

Nelly’s POV.

The kiss between Alpha Kex and me was suddenly interrupted by the jarring sound of shattering glass. I flinched, startled by the unexpected noise.

Alpha Kex hurried to the door, he opened the door carefully, avoiding the shattered glass that littered the floor. He bent down and peered into the hallway, searching for the source of the noise. When he saw that no one was there, he sighed with relief and stood up straight.
