| eyed the contents of the refrigerator. | wasn’t in the mood to
prepare anything extravagant. My eyes landed on a can of
tomato soup. That would have to do.
| grabbed it, ripped it open and dumped it into a pot. Steam rose
in an instant, and | stirred as the smell of tomatoes and herbs
filled the air. The scent was so overwhelming, that | had to step
out of the kitchen for a bit to get sfresh air.
When | rounded the corner, | saw Alexander coming through
the living room, bringing the scent of the ointment with him.
“Oh... you want to eat in here?”
He didn’t even look at me. We walked casually and settled into
one of the chairs at the dining table. “Kitchen, Olivia.”
| turned on my heel and stomped back to the kitchen.
Alexander just proved everything I'd been thinking about
earlier. Why did he always have to talk tolike that? | turned
off the stove, ladled the soup into a bowl and grabbed a spoon.
| stomped back into the dining room and dumped the plate right
in front of him.
He stared down at it for a long moment in complete silence. I

Yve wasn’t buying it though. “Thank you,” | replied, forcing a
fake smile on my lips.
“You want some?”
No way. “I'm not hungry.” | still wasn’t over how he'd spoken toearlier. | watched as he brought the spoon to
his lips.
Everything about Alexander's behavior tonight had gotten on my nerves intensely. My jaw clenched involuntarily
as | replayed how he’d been so sarcastic while | changed his dressing. Or how he just mocked the soup | made
for him.
Yes, it wasn’t anything grand, but | made it. That's what
mattered.
He swallowed the soup and looked up atinstantly. His eyes
widened. “I'm sorry, Olivia.”
My frown deepened. “You don’t have to eat it if you can’t stand
ie.”
He shook his head frantically. “No, that’s not what | meant.” He looked up atwith a genuine expression. “I'm
talking about the way | acted earlier. | was out of line.” Alexander turned his attention back to the spoon, lifting
the spoon to his lips, again
and again and again, until the bowl was empty.
“This is actually really good. Really. The flavor is perfect”
| tilted my head. Alexander was saying things | didn’t understand and | didn’t want to try. | shook the thought
away and started to move to head back downstairs.
“Olivia, wait.”
| turned to face him slowly. He was looking directly atnow.
“From now on, you don’t have to deliberately avoid me. Wherever | am, whoever I'm with... if you want to come
in, just
cin.”
This wasn’t what I'd expected him to say.
“Even if there's something between them and me,” he
continued. “I won't let it becgossip. You have my word on
that!’
| was frozen in place. So that’s what he was really apologizing
for. It caughtby surprise. | thought he was referring to the
things he'd said when | first entered his bedroom to change his
dressings. But now that he'd explained | started to understand
him, and the rage slowly began to slip away.
His earlier anger now seemed somewhat justified to me. He'd thought | was backing down from my duties as a
secretary. In

“Goodnight, Olivia.”
We exchanged a look, and then | made my way downstairs.
Alexander wasn’t exactly easy to be around, but at least he was
willing to communicate and address misunderstandings. It was
more than many Alpha’s would do, and that putin a much
better mood.

out of sleep. But sometin the hours before dawn, my phone
buzzed. My eyes snapped open immediately.
