Vanessa’s POVThe water cascaded over my skin, washing away the remnants of the night as steam swirled around me like a comforting veil. I made no mention of our encounter as I turned off the shower, the silence between us heavy with unspoken words. Wrapping a towel around me, I stepped out of the shower, the cool air of the bathroom a stark contrast to the warmth of the water.I could feel his eyes on me, his gaze burning into my skin, but I refused to meet it, focusing instead on drying myself off quickly. Once dry, I didn't linger. Without saying a word, I wrapped the towel tightly around my body and tiptoed past him, my heart pounding in my chest. I prayed the maids hadn't seen me, that I could make it back to my room without anyone knowing what had transpired between us.He didn't say anything either.As I closed the door behind me, I leaned against it, my mind reeling with the intensity of our encounter. I knew things had changed between us, that this was just the beginning of s

Vanessa’s POVAlfie's words cut through me like a knife, a wave of hurt washing over me, sending my guts churning and my heart tightening in my chest. Despite our fallout and his rejection, I never expected such cruelty from him. He knows my parents are forever a sensitive topic for me.Evie, my protective inner voice, seemed to be working overtime, desperately trying to shield me from the pain threatening to overwhelm me. It was as if she didn't want me to feel anything, wrapping me in an emotional cocoon to shield me from the harsh reality of Alfie's accusations. I feel like she has been doing a lot of that lately, which is why she is always sleeping, drained. I've tried to talk to her about it, but she keeps evading the conversation. I don't know what to feel anymore.Alfie has always been a sensitive topic because, in the end, he was my best friend. I used to be closer to him than Amelia at one point because she had other girls wanting to be her friends all the time. But no matter

Alpha Alexander’s POVDescending the staircase in my limited edition suit, freshly showered, my mind buzzed with conflicting thoughts. Vanessa's abrupt departure lingered, begging for resolution. Should I seek her out for an explanation or focus on my pack duties? Though it's better that way, avoiding awkwardness. She’s keeping it strictly business, which is good for both of us.Lost in contemplation, I rounded the corner and saw her standing at the foot of the stairs, a vision of enigmatic allure. Her presence commanded attention, her gaze fixed intently on some distant point. For a moment, I hesitated, uncertain how to approach her. Steeling my resolve, I descended the remaining steps with purposeful strides. Why was this small woman making me question my authority?"Vanessa," I called out, my voice betraying none of my inner turmoil. "I didn't expect to see you here."Her gaze flickered to meet mine, a fleeting glimpse of something inscrutable before she masked her emotions. She di

Vanessa’s POVThe elderly maid approached, her footsteps echoing softly in the tranquil space. I watched her with a mixture of curiosity and wariness, uncertain of what to expect from her unexpected visit. I knew her as the head of the maids, and we had shared conversations during my times in the kitchen, but this felt different.As she spoke, her words carried a surprising depth of understanding, cutting through my defenses with uncanny precision. I leaned forward, curious to hear what she had to say."My dear, I've seen the burden you carry, hidden beneath your stoic facade. Alpha Alexander, he's more than just your employer, isn't he?" she asked, her head tilted with knowing eyes filled with age and knowledge.Taken aback, my eyes flickered with surprise. "I... I'm not sure what you mean."With a knowing smile and twinkling eyes, she said, "Oh, child, there's no need to pretend with me. I've served this household long enough to recognize the signs. The bond between you and the alph

Vanessa’s POVAfter the only ten minutes I've ever enjoyed on a cardio machine, I hop down, awaiting Alpha Alexander's next set of instructions. I feel more energized than when I walked in here. Normally, cardio exhausts me, which is why I hardly do it.He takes me over to the bench where he's set up an Olympic bar. He shows me the basics of a proper bench press, which I thought were self-explanatory but apparently not. It turns out there's a lot of technique involved in lifting a bar straight up in the air.Alpha Alexander puts his big, warm hands on my body, showing me how to arch my back and position the weight over my chest correctly. As he guides me through the motion, it actually feels pretty good. Maybe it's because I'm horny, but each contraction of muscle is strangely pleasurable. My nipples are as hard as rocks.I always knew Alpha Alexander was hot for his age—way too hot. I'm sure I wouldn't have been so sexually aroused if he were my age. I mean, I always find older men a
