CHAPTER 35

  Elizabeth's Point Of View?

  "Oh my moon," I say, feignin innocence. "Do you think I was going to... to seduce you?! how could you think that about me?"

  His eyes widen. "No, I didn't mean—"?

  "No, I get it," I sniffle. "Of course you would think that about a little Omega girl."

  "Elizabeth, love, I didn't—"?

  I run off to the lodge like a heartbroken princess. When I enter, the lounge is empty, much to my relief. I quickly go up the stairs to lock myself in my room before that poor idiot can catch up to me.

  When I go inside, I quickly turn and lock the door, catching my breath. When I turn around, I see Sebastian sitting on the bed, the map open in front of him.

  He notices my breathless, red face and the next moment he's standing in front of me.

  "What happened?" he asks as his eyes scan me for injuries. "Are you alright? Did Hackerman cross the line—"

  "No, no." I exhale. "I just came up the stairs really fast."
