He gestures toward the door again, his posture still relaxed. “Now leave, pretty Beta, before I change my mind. You interrupted my work, and I’m on a time limit.”
She huffs out an awkward laugh. “I hope your work involves burning this place down,” she chokes out.
As much as she’s terrified of the Alpha in front of her, she hates this place more.
Then, with a bravery she didn’t know she possessed, she hurries towards the door, keeping her light shining directly on him.
She takes in his features fully for just a moment before she’s pushed against the wall, inches from the exit.
His hands, much too strong and lethal, hold her in place as she drops her phone for the second time, shrouding them in darkness.
She’s frozen.
He lied.
All she can think of is Pearl, Mindy, and that stupid charcuterie board that she’s never going to have…
“Drive safe, Audrey.”
His breath is inches from her ear, his chest almost touching hers, and she trembles under his touch. She wants to scream, but her mouth is frozen.
He lets her go just as quickly as he grabbed her and shoves her phone back into her hoodie pocket.
How generous of him,she thinks to herself as she rushes down the hall and out the door. She almost trips as she runs into the parking lot and throws her car door open. Her hands shake as she fumbles with her seatbelt and starts the car, the tires squealing as she peels out as fast as she can.
It’s only when she stumbles through her front door, sweating and shaking, that she realizes she forgot her notes.
It was all for nothing.
CHAPTER 4
AUDREY
She spends a good hour shampooing,scrubbing, and rinsinghisscent off her skin and hair.
She can’t believe what just happened, and she replays her encounter with him in disbelief.
What should she do?
Who does she tell?
Hello, police? I broke into my old place of work and saw an Alpha.
No, that won’t work.
She needs a plan.
A well-thought-out plan of how to move past this and protect herself.
But he knew her name, and if he knows her name…
She lets out a sob as she turns off the water and steps out of the shower.
It’s possible he has her address if he was rummaging through the files before she got there.
“Oh God,” she groans as she vigorously runs a towel through her hair.
This is what she gets for acting impulsively.
