Chapter 31

Alexander’s POV

I pushed Jess’s arms off me with little effort.

“What happened?” I muttered inwardly. My wolf’s voice came

low and clipped:“Someone’s behind you.”

I turned instinctively, but the deck was empty.

Jess, slightly tipsy and not hiding it well, clung to me again. Her

fingers curled around my wrist like a lifeline. “Alex, don’t be like
