The Alpha in My Dream
I said, my voice thick with emotion.
"Because you were safe," she said, finally looking up to meet my gaze. But there was no joy in her eyes—only a profound, crushing sadness. She looked at my tailored suit, the raw power vibrating through my frame, and the sheer luxury of the vehicle surrounding us. "But that was the mist, Alpha. This is the real world."
She let out a small, hollow breath, shaking her head.
"Reality breaks dreams."
The phrase hung heavily in the air between us, colder than the winter pine scent expanding through the car.
