Alicia’s POV
I sit under my favorite tree with a book in my hand and my eyes scanning the page, but none of the words are sticking in my brain because all I can focus on is the way Zane’s eyes bore into my skin.
I sigh and let my head fall back against the tree, my eyes fluttering closed.
The house has been tense ever since Zane’s trial last week. Adrian hasn’t been in a good mood, but his bad mood seems to shift whenever we’re together.
I can tell some of the members are on edge after the stunt Zane pulled behind Adrian’s back, going against his orders. I know it’s made Adrian mad, and he has every right to be.
Ever since the trial, I have felt as though Zane has been watching me a little more closely than he normally does. He has been skeptical of me since the day I arrived, but it feels as though something has shifted this past week.
