Chapter 65

• Alpha Alexander’s POV
• I observed Vanessa's wide-eyed expression for a moment, a flicker of amusement dancing in my eyes before I hopped down from the bed with ease. The hunger gnawing at my stomach reminded me that I needed sustenance, and the idea of finding a good human place to eat appealed to me.
• Standing before her, the tension between us palpable yet unspoken, I couldn't help but feel a sense of liberation. Being in Vanessa's presence, away from the constraints of our pack and the responsibilities that came with it, felt like a reprieve—a temporary escape from the demands of my position as alpha.
