Chapter Eight

CHAPTER EIGHT

"Are you finished?"

I turn and look. The man from before, the one known as the guard, is standing just outside the door.

I am nervous and I don't know what to say, but I don't want to say the wrong thing and get into trouble.

I have no idea what the Alpha expects of me, and I have no idea how much trouble I can get into.

The only way this is going to work is if I follow their rules.

If I play by the rules and do what they say, I might get a chance at escape.

"I-- I need your help," I say. "I don't know what to do."

"Then let me help you," he says.

"I don't know what the Alpha expects," I say.

"Just follow my lead and you'll be fine."

"But--" I start to say.

"Just do what I say."

I hesitate, but then I realize there's no other way, so with a nod, I agree to follow his lead.

He tells me that I'm to get dressed in the clothes that are set before me, in the little basket.
