Lily kept staring at me, waiting for me to finish the line but I had completely forgotten what I was going to

say.

I looked from her to Sandra who was busy talking to her other friends excitedly about the plans for today.

Meanwhile, Lily cast one longing look in Aaron’s direction and looked back at me.

“You were saying something?” She prodded.

“Uh” I shook my head. “It was nothing important”

She gave me a smile and joined the group to chat.

Meanwhile, Jane only poked me in the ribs hard.

“Why are you staring at her like you saw a ghost?”

I kept looking at the group and how Sandra and Lily were talking like besties. I wondered if Sandra knew Lily and Aaron’s little secret but highly suspected she didn’t.

If she did, she wouldn’t be hugging her like a long lost friend.

Was I the only person in this room who knew?

I sat down carefully and was still turning this over when Sandra clapped her hands together.

“Okay. Car’s arrived for us. Let’s go.”

Everyone grabbed their things and I was reaching for my bag when I caught a fleeting glance of a figure wearing a dark suit with a phone to his ear and walking past the glass walls on one of the upper floors.

I knew the shape of him without needing to see his face.

“I’ll meet you at the car,” I told Jane, already advancing towards the staircase. “I just need to urgently use the bathroom.”

Jane’s eyes went to where I was looking and back to my face and her expression said several things without saying any of them.

“Sure, I’ll suffer through some more torture for you” she said, and followed the others.

I went the other way, up the main staircase, climbing two or even three stairs at a time to catch him before he would disappear again.

Why the hell were there so many stairs?

I continued running up the second flight, then the third, all the way to the top floor where the Alpha’s office suite occupied the east wing. By the time I reached the landing I was genuinely panting, pressing one hand to the glass wall and trying to not look like a person who had walked through a hurricane to reach here.

And somehow the sight before me made me feel that all the efforts had not been vain

Connor was inside the huge office, standing near the window with his back facing me. He was still glued to his phone and talking to someone.

I couldn’t hear the words but as I inhaled deeply to catch my breath, I noticed little things I hadn’t paid attention to before.
