Chapter 144

• Alpha Alexander’s POV
• I turned away from the scene, cursing myself for my foolishness and cowardice. How could I have let Vanessa slip through my fingers again, leaving her alone in the darkness without so much as a word of explanation or apology?
• She was right there. I didn’t hear what she and Alfie were discussing, but she looked damn proud of herself with that glow in her eyes. I didn’t want to intrude on her thoughts.
