The Alpha's prey
Scarlett’s POV
My body was basking in the warmth.
It wrapped around me like a soft blanket, seeping into my bones, making me sigh quietly as I woke up. For a few moments, I kept my eyes closed, letting myself sink into the comfort. I didn’t want to open them. I didn’t want to face whatever reality waited for me beyond this peaceful darkness.
But slowly, curiosity forced my eyes open.
Sunlight spilled through the large windows, painting golden shapes across the floor. The room around me was quiet, so quiet that I could hear the ticking of an old clock on the wall. I lay there, staring up at the high ceiling, feeling like I was floating in someone else’s life.
