Elizabeth woke up in her bed in the early afternoon with an incredible headache…
Next to Alexander.
They were both naked.
What had happened last night? It was a total blackout. She had absolutely no recollection of the events of the party.
But in view of the fact that they were both naked in the same bed, she had a pretty good idea of how that night had ended...
Elizabeth got up and walked to the bathroom to take her morning shower, groaning and putting a hand to her aching head. Thankfully, she kept powerful painkillers in the bathroom for situations exactly like this one.
After she left, Alexander cracked one eye open, then sat up.
He'd actually been awake for a long time. In fact, Alexander hadn't slept much during the previous night. He'd spent most of it thinking about what he'd heard in the secret passage. All the news of the SuperGuild's subterfuge…
Not to mention the mystery of Gael's superhuman strength.
