CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE.

REAGAN'S POV.

"Selena." I shriek, unable to fathom the fact that she's standing before me right now. She has that pitiful look she used to bind me in her bonds in the past with and she's staring at me as though she wants to burst into tears.

"Alpha Reagan." She responds in a low, shaky voice. "I'm very sorry for showing up here like this, unannounced. You are probably tired from work and you need to rest. I hate to interrupt that, but the issue that brought me here is very severe." She explains in the most sorry tone I've ever heard in my life. I squint my eyelids and crease my brows as I shoot her a confused look.

"What severe issue could that be?"

"I can't fall asleep."

"What do you mean you can't fall asleep because everything feels strange? You've lived in this Castle before, Selena."

"But I didn't have to sleep all alone in a massive bedroom. We used to share a bedroom and you made sure to tuck me in and cuddle me every night before I went to bed, that's why I never got scared in the beginning." She argues firmly and I let out a heavy sigh of exasperation.
