Reject Me, Alpha Tate
I looked at Marlon, who shrugged and looked entirely unrepentant, and then at Rosy, who was looking at the dress the way she looked at her best storybooks, and I took it from him.

"The mask," I said. "And the barrier."
"Scent neutralized at the door," Marlon confirmed. "Full mask provided at entry. He could stand next to you and know nothing."
Maple studied me. "Mummy you should wear your hair down," he said, with absolute authority.
