We didn’t speak as we began to pile food onto our plate. But as | watched Alexander devour his breakfast, |
couldn’t stop thinking about last night. He seemed so calm and collected now, just like his usual self. Meanwhile,
last night had been a horrific experience.
Whatever Ben had put in that whatever must have been strong enough to knock down an Alpha.
Still, the image of him in that bathroom, vulnerable and alone, dealing with the after effects of the drug made
my chest tighten.
“Olivia.” | jerked, realizing I'd been staring at my barely touched eggs for several minutes. “Are you all right? You
seem... unsettled.”
“I'm fine,” | lied and forced myself to take a bite of eggs. They tasted like sand. But | forced it down my throat.
He studiedfor a moment, then set down his fork. “I need to apologize.” His eyes met mine. There was guilt in
them. “Last night, when | kissed you... | shouldn't have done that. It was wrong of me, and | take full
responsibility.”
“No.” I'd been trying to forget that had happened at all. And now, he’d brought the image to the forefront of my
mind. “I don’t need your apology. It didn’t happen, alright? It was the drugs, skind of delusion. So just forget
about it, okay? Pretend it never happened, because that’s what I'm going to do.”
| couldn’t read Alexander's expression. And | didn’t have tto, because my phone buzzed against the table.
Gai’s nflashed across the screen. Grateful for the distraction, | grabbed it immediately.

“I wanted to update you on the situation from last night. Ben Wilde has left the resort, and he took his friends
with him. He used food poisoning as an excuse, but we know better. Anyways, Alpha Alexander would have to
attend the acceptance ceremony alone.”
My eyes shifted to Alexander. From the way his jaw was clenched tightly, | knew he’d heard everything.
He pushed his chair back and rose to his feet. “Con. You're going to accompanynow.”
| groaned, but got up anyway.
Thankfully, the acceptance ceremony had only lasted for thirty minutes. And after heading back to the villa to
grab our bags, we were on our way to the airport.
When the car stopped in front of us, I'd quickly claimed the passenger seat: The move was petty and obvious,
but I didn’t care. | just didn’t want to be anywhere near Alexander.
| could feel Alexander's eyes on me, burning into the back of my head, but | refused to turn around. Coward that
| was, | couldn't face whatever | might see.
Alexander’s phone suddenly rang, breaking the depressing silence that had spread through the car. “Tonight?
Actually, that works perfectly. Sendthe address.”
| felt him lean forward. “Change of plans,” he told the driver. “We're not going to the airport. I'll give you the
address in a moment.”
