"This the book you were talking about?" Xavier asked her, placing his hand over his mouth.
"You didn't read anything in it, did you?"
He took the book away from her.
"Hey!" Madeline exclaimed, reaching for the book but unable to reach it since Xavier put it out of reach.
He shot Briar one look, and she took it as her sign to leave. Xavier was there, rest assured Madeline would be well taken care of.
As soon as Briar left, the three girls followed.
Obviously, they knew if the alpha spotted them there, eavesdropping on their conversation, they'd be severely punished.
'Faster, or we'll be spotted!'
'Come on! You wouldn't want the alpha to catch us still here do you? That's literally asking for a death wish!'
"Did you read it?" Xavier inquired, this time his voice stern.
Thankfully, Madeline shook her head, "I didn't read it, although I was about to."
