he thought ofwithout a doubt, and | was terrified it could put my position here at risk.
| rushed to my room and closed my bedroom door behind me. My heart felt like it was pounding within my chest.
| could feel Akira’s presence, and she felt on edge. Whimpering, and broken. Much the sas me. She had
been allowing herself to get closer to that man, | was sure of it. She had felt for him when he was struggling and
that was unusual for her.
Why did Miles feel the need to call me? He was meant to be secure and in treatment was he not? So why was he
able to reach out to me? None of it made sense. Though | suppose the reason why was easy to answer. He
wanted to torture me. That was always his reason for his nastiness toward me. Always his reasoning for his
vileness. | had naively hoped that the treatment would make schanges in him, turn him back to the boy he
used to be. But, | think Jordan is right. He craves the power being the Alpha brings, and the fear it instills in
