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

“Cursed?!” Waverly repeated. Her hands trembled and she felt like she was living a nightmare. There was no way this was happening again.


“What are you talking about?” Sawyer asked. His hand was resting on his lap, and he leaned forward, listening intensely to what Harold had to say. 


“When I was a kid, there was a myth—more like an urban legend—about the siren of the lake.” Harold’s eyes were wide, and his gaze was focused on Waverly. The fire light illuminated one side of his face.


“We didn’t know much about her…everything was kept secret. All that we knew was men would go into the Wandering Forest and never return. Those who did came back telling tales of their encounter with the siren; a mermaid who resided on in the eastern river and sang a sweet tune, luring men towards her where she would then ensnare them in her grasp and kill them.” 


Waverly jumped in her spot and Sawyer reached out an arm to calm her.
