Chapter 112

• Vanessa’s POV
• I awoke from the depths of slumber, gradually becoming aware of the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. Disoriented and still groggy, I blinked away the remnants of my dream, its lingering embrace slowly dissipating. How could I dream about having sex with Alpha Alexander after he had tossed me aside as if I meant nothing? Something must be wrong with my hormones.
• As I stirred, a sense of unease washed over me, a nagging disquiet that refused to be ignored. Scanning the room with bleary eyes, I realized with a start that I was alone—no comforting presence beside me, no warmth to chase away the morning chill.
