Chapter 91

• Anita’s POV
• The door clicked shut behind Damian, leaving Alpha Hades and me standing in the quiet tension that filled the room. I was acutely aware of the sound of my own breathing, and for a moment, neither of us said anything. His intense eyes lingered on mine, his expression unreadable. Then, he coughed awkwardly and took a half-step back, his hands releasing their firm grip on my waist.
• “Are you okay?” he asked, his voice softer than I expected.
