Chapter 9 Your Ring?

• Ariel's POV.
• A loud yawn eased across my lips as I turned in bed, smacking my lips together and scratching at my throat. Then a sudden realization struck me as I jolted up from the bed, my eyes bulging out of their sockets as I recalled last night’s occurrence.
• This wasn’t my home. This was Alpha Ryan’s home—and worse still, it was my first night sleeping here. How could I have been so careless and clueless? My eyes caught a sight of my reflection in the mirror and my entire body went numb. I looked like a mess. Yet to my despair—or rather relief—Alpha Ryan wasn’t in bed anymore.
