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

“Ascension!?” Isadore practically yelled. “What ascension? Dad is still in power—last time I checked, he was still alive!” 


“When did you check last?” Finn said, nonchalantly, prompting another hit from Sawyer. 


“How are you so calm and relaxed?” Waverly asked.


Finn looked up at her from his nails. “I’ve been training for this for as long as I can remember. We knew it was bound to happen one day.”


“But what about dad?” Isadore continued to poke. “It’s unheard of to ascend when the Alpha is alive.”


“It’s rare, yes. But not entirely uncommon,” Aviana began. “Your father wishes to move forward with Finn’s ascension, regardless of the matter. If it is a sound of mind choice, then there is no law against it.” 


She was right. An Alpha didn’t always need to pass away for the next-in-line to assume the position, If an Alpha decided to give up his title, then it could be done—as long as the pack always had a leader.
