Chapter 24

• ALPHA HARDEN
• “Shit, oh my fucking goodness, what did I just do?” Her voice was barely a whisper, a strained, panicked one. She slowly lifted her eyes, and they met mine. They were still those striking, unforgettable eyes that had been burned into my mind since the day I first saw them. Her face was pale, almost ghostly, and her cheekbones stood out more than I remembered.
• She was thinner, too. Much thinner than before. And then there was the scar, a delicate curve from her ear down to her cheek. It should have marred her, but somehow, it only made her more beautiful. She was still just… damn perfect. A queen, reborn to torment my dreams, to crawl under my skin, and make my life a living hell.
