*Rosalie’s POV A long sigh escaped my lips as I put down the

second book I had finished on the soft surface of my comforter. Day two of Ethan's visitors being witwho did I think I was? Talon

told me it was for my safety, but I knew he was just trying to be nice. I was

bought, and I only had one purpose for Alpha Ethan. Just because Talon tried his best to provide mefrom a prisoner — I had no right to question what

was arranged for me. However, the more time I spent here, the more I

tended to forget that. I craved communication with someone other than my own thoughts. Ofcourse, Vicky and Talon took turns checking on me, but I wanted more —

Yes, I was hopelessly missing Ethan. His intoxicating scent, the gentle caress of his hands... God,

I was being ridiculous. My face turned red, and I rolled my eyes at my internal dilemma. I laid

back upon my bed and stared at the ceiling above, unsure of what to

do next. I could hear sounds of music from below; it seemed like the crowd was having fun. Who woDrogomor pack with the word “fun?’ At least, I

wouldn't have believed that until I really had really gotten them. I could hear young women’s giggle:being entertained by other women? And would he smile at them? He probably wouldn't... but what iimagine that. What's more, the thought that other

women could make him smile really upset me. “What's wrong

with you, Rosalie! I berated myself. "You're a simple breeder. Know your place!’ However, scolding mdidn't make me feel any better. In fact, it made me... jealous, to a

point where I almost didn't recognize the feeling. The sun had long before set, and I could see the glfull moon above. Tonight they would shift and run in a group. It seemed to be something Ethan anddid every full moon. It showed such unity between them, and I was delighted by the chance to witnefilled the night sky. “I wish I was out there...” I whispered softly to myself, wrapping the cashmere blame. The words softly left my lips as I looked out at the night. As I thought about everything that hadof the window drew my attention. I slid from the bed and moved towards the open

window. The room I was in was three stories up, but

Chapter 21: Lock Down still, the noise startled me. I stared down, trying to see what was there, my IcWhat was it? Was there someone watching?

The fear started to settle over me when a small black

cat darted from the space below me toward the corner of the building. A sigh of relief and a small ctdidn’t have anything to worry about. “Goddess, kitty, you scared me,” I said. “Run off before the big Ias a cat. Rosalie, you've gotta be braver than that! As I turned around and made my way towards myThen my eyes widened as Ethan's dark and lust

filled gaze swept over me causing me to hold my breath. Why was he here?

“Alpha.” I lowered my head to greet him.

Frozen to the spot, I watched him close the door behind

him. I could hear my heart pounding louder and louder. His steps were swift, and he closed the spacblanket dropped to the ground.

The smell of whiskey upon his breath told me he had been drinking, but even so, I had longed forthis moment. For him to come and replace me and ravish me like only he could do. “Alpha...” I whisperemouth as he dragged me to its edge and dipped his mouth to my core. My legs

wrapped around his shoulders and my

back arched in pleasure. “Ethan. Call me Ethan!” he commanded. I didn’t understand what had gotte!pleasure. Soft cries left me and filled the space within the half closed canopy. He slid deep inside

me and hit me with an animalistic passion

I had never experienced. As I left scratches down his back, some deep enough to spill blood,

he knotted me, and I called out “Ethan” as he came, stilling deep within me. Both of us panted, out ohe mumbled, his brows furrowing. 1 My mind was still in a mess, and I

didn’t understand his question. As the swelling went down from the knot he climbed over top of meDid he.., fall asleep...?!

I looked down at him, replaceing it unbelievable. He was still here wrapped around me—

drunk, of course, but still here.

As the heat started to fade, I recollected my thoughts. What had just happened...?

I had waited for him to come to me, and, after two days, he finally did. I knew it must be the

alcohol that made him wild tonight, and he had only come to take me until his physical needs were fcall him by name. Did that mean that maybe, just maybe—

he also desired me as a woman? I looked at him and could not get over how

handsome he was. With his eyes closed, he was no longer a fearsome Alpha, but just a charming mthrough me. He was my master, he ruined my

future, but in some ways, he also saved me. His thick eyelashes—

casted a shadow under his eyes, and his well-

defined jawline paired with his perfect nose and lips to make him as graceful as a prince. However, ein his sleep, there was still a crease between his brows. Was he bothered by something? I so wishedsilly thought, why would he need help from someone like

me? Nevertheless, I couldn't help but gently massage his temples, hoping to provide some relief fowhatever that may be bothering him. Um... his hair was surprisingly soft. It didn't take

long until I heard a deep grunt fill the small space between us. He slowly began to move, and thenlooked around with a confused look upon his face. Then his eyes slowly rose up to meet my

own.

He hesitated for a moment, as

if he was trying to remember what had happened. Then he quickly pulled away from me with a sneelthe blanket to cover my bare body. “Alpha... I'm sorry..." I apologized softly. I wasn't sure whether it \stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

It was as if I could hear

my heart shatter into pieces. How foolish had I been to think that I might mean something differentto him? I was wrong. I was lying to myself. It was all my illusion. I was still nothing but a job to him-a task to be completed. He was never going to love or care about me, and the more I kept pretendinmyself up for disappointment. I was hopelessly wishing things would

change, but I knew they were never going to.
