Aimee's POV
The day had grown dark, but Alpha James still hadn't returned. It had been almost five hours since he left to intervene in the altercation between the members and Emily. My thoughts were becoming restless and distant, fearing that something bad had happened.
Yet, I still obeyed Alpha James's words to stay in the room. I don't know, my mind was in turmoil. I believed that staying silent and waiting would be better than checking on and questioning the pack members. I didn't want to be seen as an annoying Luna who was too jealous.
My restlessness instantly vanished when the bedroom door opened, and Alpha James appeared with his cold face that I longed for so much.
"Honey, I'm very—"
"Don't hug me, Aimee. I'm extremely tired. We should just sleep."
Instantly, my legs grew weak, and it felt like all the blood in my body stopped flowing. What happened? Why was Alpha James so harsh and cynical?
