Sawyer’s gaze remained on her, almost studying her. Within this proximity and such a confined space, she could smell the musky scent of his cologne emitting from his unbuttoned collar. His necklaces dangled to the middle of his chest, highlighting the bits of muscle she could see underneath. 

Sawyer’s eyes trailed to her cheeks and then finally, her lips. His body inched closer to her and with each step he took, the fine freckles that crossed the bridge of his nose became more prominent. Waverly’s body quivered as she closed her eyes and felt the heat of his breath get warmer and warmer…

Then it was gone. Waverly opened her eyes to see Sawyer standing near the shelving unit, staring at the ground. His face contorted. 

“Is everything okay?” she asked, calmly. Sawyer stood still and kept to himself. “Sawyer?” 

“Leave.”

The Alpha's Curse

Her whole body froze. Did she just see what she thought she had? There was no way. He wouldn't dare...


Waverly shook her head and looked back to the spot directly between the two trees. The person was gone. 


“What is it?” Katia asked, looking in the direction Waverly was. 


“Oh, uh…I just—” She stared at the location again with some part of her hoping he would show, but instead, only the trees remained. “Uhm, never mind. I just thought I saw something over there, but it’s nothing.”


“I—uhm, I think it was a branch falling from those trees,” Waverly lied. 


Katia smirked. “You scare awfully easy.” 


“Yeah, I suppose I do,” Waverly replied, still half distracted. She blinked to clear her mind and reverted her attention to the task at hand. “Have you noticed anything?”


Katia shook her head. “No. Whoever it was, didn’t come here. But I think we're on the right track. Let’s keep going; maybe there’s something further ahead.”
