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.

“No one’s there,” he said, turning to me with a puzzled expression on his face.

“What was that?” I asked, my voice quivering with anxiety.

He shrugged, his face suddenly blank, devoid of emotion..

“Someone must have been spying on us,” he said, his voice betraying a hint of unease.

He quickly pulled on his shirt and trousers, his movements hurried and uncharacteristically clumsy. I nodded, a chill running down my spine.

I ran my fingers through my hair, letting it fall in loose waves around my shoulders. I paced around the room, counting my steps as I went: one, two, three, four… and boom. Alpha Kex room door opened and closed.

I sighed, the air leaving my lungs in a rush. I counted out ten steps to Alpha Kex’s room, from my room to Alpha Kex was just ten steps. When I was sure he was inside his room,
