The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Dread

Selene’s POV~

My eyes darted everywhere, hoping for an escape, but there was none, and the realization made my breath come in shallow gasps. My chest was too tight. My hands clutched the chair until my nails bit the wood.

From the corner of my eyes, I caught Aeron’s hand moving. He suddenly lifted a pen from the table. His fingers twirled it slowly in his hand. The metal caught the light as it spun. But with each twirl, I could only feel dread.

But his next move I have never prepared myself for.

In the next second, he bent down. The pen hooked inside the bracelet on my wrist.

My heart almost stopped.

I almost jumped in my chair. My eyes went wide as saucers. I instantly regretted my reaction. I should not have reacted like this, but damn, his move had scared the hell out of me.

He did not touch me. Only his hand was hooking the bracelet on my fair wrist, slowly rotating it. Still, the heat ran through me as if his hand pressed against mine. The pen slid under the band. He turned it again and again. The chain of silver swayed and clinked.

Why? Why was he playing with it?

Did he know? Did he see what it is?

My breath broke. This was no simple bracelet. It was the enchanted bracelet that had the ability to hide anyone’s scent. And only because of it, I dare to sit in front of them without the fear that they would recognize me.

My eyes slowly lifted to his so I could read what was in his mind, but Aeron’s face was calm. His eyes were far away. He looked lost in thought, as if he was not even aware of the storm he had placed in my chest.
