Chapter 69 - Chapter 69

The door creaked when it opened, slow, deliberate, like the sound itself was meant to crawl into my chest and twist tight around my heart. I froze where I was, hunched at the far corner of the room, my knees drawn up against my chest as if I could curl into myself and vanish. My whole body was trembling. I didn't even want to look but I couldn't help it. He was there The Psycho Alpha. He didn't step inside. He didn't speak. He only stood in the doorway, framed by the dim light of the corridor, his tall shadow spilling into my room and stretching across the floor until it nearly touched me. His eyes found mine instantly, and the weight of that gaze was so heavy I thought my bones might snap beneath it.
