Chapter 35

• ALICIA POV
• “So, how did you meet Alpha Harden?” Lisa’s mom asked, her voice calm and even. But I knew better. There was something in the way she said “Alpha Harden” that made my stomach clench.
• My spoon stopped halfway to my mouth. After Carmen had left… I had only agreed to stay for dinner because the food smelled so good. And now that I was eating it, I could tell you—it was even better than it smelled. Lisa’s mom was an amazing cook. Lisa had told me that her mom just threw ingredients together without measuring, and somehow it always came out perfect. Lisa definitely didn't get that skill from her.
