Had someone left this here on accident? I tuck it close to my chest. Well, finder's keepers, right?

He asked and I turned, my eyes landing on the book resting on the shelf I kept it. “The Book of Alphas containing history and stuff of Alphas and their packs," I said and Xander shook his head, making me confused. “There's only one Book of Alphas and it's in my office," I stilled as my eyes slowly went to the book and then back to Xander.

Their arms and legs were the same lengths, similar in proportion to an ape.
