Chapter 19 19

• ARIEL'S POV.
• I'd slept off, in between whatever foot massage it was Alpha Ryan had offered me. He'd asked that I relax, and I found myself doing just that. It wasn't a surprise when I had woken to another day on an empty bed, except he had the ointment and my drugs placed by the side for me.
• A broad smile stretched on my face as I made my way down the stairs feeling happy. Whatever reassurance I needed from Alpha Ryan, I'd gotten them last night. He wanted me. Maybe not as much as the bond I felt for him, but it was growing, and I'd seen the yearning in his eyes. I knew he felt just the same way I did.
