Alex POV
My sister raised a brow at me when I entered the house with Alice asleep in my arms. She is having a late breakfast as usual. I wondered if she had nightmares again that she didn't sleep again or if she woke up late.
I ignored her and walked towards my bedroom. But I could feel her following me.
As soon as I laid Alice down on my bed, I pulled the blanket and covered her. She must be too exhausted because since she fell asleep after that kiss until now, she has never awoken again.
That kiss.
I thought about that kiss as I watched her sleeping peacefully in my bed. Where she belongs.
That was the first real kiss I ever had and it felt magical. No one would ever hear me say that kind of word. Alice pulled out something in me that makes me...human.
In fact, Alice is pulling me from the darkness that swallowed me ever since the first kill that was forced upon me by my grandfather.
