Ella
The following morning, I woke to the sound of water running. I cracked one eye open first, then the other, and realized that Alexander was nå lenger sleeping beside me.
Yesterday’s memories, still too fresh for comfort, washed over me. The kiss, the bitterness, the awful things we’d said to each other before bed. But pushed the negative feelings down and sat up, rubbing sleep from my eyes as the shower shut off in the other rooms.
A moment later, the bathroom door opened, and Alexander stepped out with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. Water droplets clung to his chest, sliding down the planes of his muscles before disappearing beneath the towel.
I quickly looked away, cursing my body for responding to the sight. For five years I had yearned to share a bed with this man, and now I couldn’t wait for this phase to end if only because it was a constant reminder just how instinctively my body reacted whenever i was close to him.
“Morning,” Alexander said, crossing to his closet. “Sophia and her parents are coming by today.”
I stiffened slightly. “What? Why?”
“To discuss the bonfire incident and the contract leak.”
“Oh. When are they getting here?”
“About an hour.”
I was a little chagrined that he hadn’t told me sooner, but nodded and slipped out of bed, hurrying past Alexander while his back was turned.
By the time I emerged from the shower a little while later, he was gone. I picked out a simple blouse and a skirt, then made my way downstairs with a little time to spare—just enough time for a cup of coffee.
But to my surprise, voices were already drifting from the sitting room.
I entered to find Sophia perched on the sofa. On either side of her sat her parents, Alpha John and Luna Helen Oxford of Moonshine pack.
Alpha John was a tall, distinguished man with salt–and–pepper hair and a neatly trimmed mustache that curled up on the ends. Luna Helen was slim and elegant, with the same brunette hair as her daughter, although hers was shot through with silver.
None of them looked at me as I entered.
Alexander was standing by the fireplace. Gabriel leaned against the windowsill, his arms folded across his chest.
I took a seat in an armchair across from them, keeping my expression neutral. I knew exactly how this would go. Sophia was their precious, perfect daughter. They’d spoiled her rotten her entire life, indulging her every whim and excusing her worst behavior.
They wouldn’t believe she was capable of anything truly malicious.
“Now that we’re all here, let’s get started,” Alexander began, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a delicate necklace with a single pearl on it and held
