NOW Aria blinks. Once. Twice. But he’s still there. A part of her hopes she’s hallucinating, that her exhausted mind is playing cruel tricks on her. But no. Xavier is real. He’s sitting there, larger than life, looking every bit the powerful Alpha he was destined to be. She wills her heartbeat to slow, to settle into something close to normal. But how can it? Xavier is still the most arrestingly handsome man she has ever seen. Time hasn’t dulled his beauty; if anything, it has sharpened it, refined it. His once-defined jawline has transformed into something more rugged, more dangerously masculine. His body has filled out, broad shoulders packed with muscle, his presence even more commanding than before. And yet, his gaze is empty. Cold. Like he doesn’t know her at all. “Hey, omega scum!” Beta Roland yells. Aria jolts back to reality, her dazed thoughts scattering like dust in the wind. She blinks rapidly, then drops to her knees, scrambling to pick up the tray and the goblets.
