The Assassin Alpha's Heir
I wanted to tear his head off and kick it down the grand staircase.
Except... my stupid heart was racing like a damn sports car.
Thump-thump-thump, loud, out of control. It was pounding so hard against my ribs I was genuinely convinced the bastard could hear it echoing across the room.
I didn't say another word. I spun on my heel, ripped his bedroom door open, and practically sprinted down the corridor like my clothes were on fire, leaving him standing there in the middle of his room.
I marched down the hallway, pressing a trembling hand flat against my chest, feeling the chaotic flutter under my ribs.
