Watch Me Win, Alpha

We were silent for a few moments. Adam came back into the room and handed a glass of water to his sister. She took it gratefully and drained most of it with one gulp.

“Russell and Kelly were headed for the same college,” she said in a miserable tone. “Only an hour away from here, and they would always promise me that they would visit home on the weekends.” Her voice shook, and she averted her eyes to her cold tea.

Ava and I shared a look, sympathy for the grieving mother flowed between us.

“Chloe.” Ava murmured with anger in her eyes.

I knew that her thoughts had gone in the same direction as mine. This was all Chloe’s fault. Russell and Kelly had a great future ahead of them, and Chloe ruined it all with her wicked games. She killed Russell and ruined Kelly’s life by driving the poor girl crazy.

I looked at Alexander, who was gazing at Russell’s mother with compassion. An electric shock went through me when I realized that without Alexander’s protection, I could have ended up like Kelly or Russell since Chloe seemed to have it out for me. Gratefulness for the man beside me filled my heart until it felt like it was going to burst.

As if Alexander could sense my distress, he put a warm arm around the back of my chair, subtly drawing me closer to his side. As soon as I felt the warmth from his body, I relaxed into him. I was glad that I had told him to come with us today. Even though he sometimes pissed me off, I couldn’t deny that I always felt safer when he was by my side.

As Sarah wiped her eyes, she looked curiously at Alexander and me.
