    Alexander walked beside me. I could feel his body heat radiating off of him, and it gave me a small amount offort.


    He lowered his voice and leaned toward me. “How did you get her to let us in?” he asked.


    “I paid her,” I whispered in a low voice so that the woman wouldn’t hear.


    Alexander leaned closer. “What?” he asked.


    “I paid her,” I muttered.


    He shook his head in frustration. “I can’t hear you. You’re barely moving your lips.”


    I rolled my eyes and repeated myself again, but he still couldn’t hear <ol><li>me. </li></ol>


    I stopped walking, and he did too. Richard, Rose, and Celeste didn’t notice that we had stopped walking and kept moving down the corridor.


    I leaned up on my tiptoes and moved close to Alexander’s ear so that he would be able to hear me.


    Right as I began to talk, he suddenly turned his head until our faces were only inches away from each other. My heart skipped a beat when Alexander’s dark eyes shot down to my lips, and his eyes sparked with


    desire.


    The room spun as his warm arm wrapped around my waist, and he

    pressed me against his muscled body. He put his lips right beside my car, and his warm breath made me shiver.


    “I heard you the first time, Olivia,” he whispered. “That was smart of you to pay her. She wouldn’t have let us in without a cash bribe.”


    My breath hitched from his closeness, but my anger spiked because I realized that he had tricked me since he had heard me the first time. He had just wanted me to get closer to him.


    I pushed him away roughly from me even though my body immediately became cold from the loss of his warm one. Why did my body crave his closeness? It wasn’t fair.


    Richard and Rose looked back and snickered from our antics.


    My hands clenched at my sides as I briskly walked ahead of Alexander to catch up with the group.


    After a few more minutes of walking down the corridor, the fortune teller led us into a small room that only held five chairs and a wooden coffee table that was filled with magazines that had crystal balls on


    them.


    “Wait here while I prepare the room,” Celeste said cryptically.


    Then, she disappeared in the other room. What did she have in store for us? What could she possibly be preparing?


    The four of us sat down, and Rose opened her mouth, but I shook my head and took out a small notebook and pen that I had in my purse. I began to write on the notebook as my friends looked on.


    “This room is probably bugged, and they might even be listening to us right now.‘


    I showed the note to everyone, and they nodded.

    “Good thinking,” Alexander mouthed.


    ‘I think that Ava is.here because she believed that Mrs. Windsor was going toe tonight. She must have found out that Mrs. Windsor is a big believer in fortune tellers andes here weekly to get her fortune told. Ava must havee here to discover what kind of information she could dig up on her.‘


    Alexander nodded, and Rose looked slightly confused because she didn’t know the full story, but I didn’t have the time right now tó exin it to her. Alexander grabbed the pad of paper from me and began to write.


    ‘Do you think that Ava is safe right now?‘


    After I read his message, I nodded.


    But Alexander still looked skeptical.


    ‘I think that we should have someone check to make sure that she is


    alright.‘


    Alexander and I stared at each other after I read what he wrote. My heart filled with an emotion I couldn’t identify. It meant a lot to me that he was concerned for my friend.


    ‘Richard, find someone to make sure that Ava is alright.‘


    Alexander showed his note to his bodyguard.


    A look of determination crossed Richard’s face, and he grabbed the notepad and began to write. When he was done, his message made me tilt my head in confusion.


    ‘Leave it to me, Alpha.‘


    But Alexander nodded and wrote a note telling him good luck.

    Richard stood from his chair and left the room going back down the corridor. After he was gone, Alexander seemed to notice our expressions of confusion. He wrote down a new message and showed Rose and me.
