Chapter 20

"Alpha Aether, someone is here to see you."

We pulled away from each other, lips almost touching but not quite. Aether cleared his throat and stood up, glancing down at me as he did, a longing look in his eyes. I looked away, embarrassed, wanting to hide but also wanting him to stay, all I could do was watch as he left, the maid that had interrupted us scurrying after him, apologising profusely.
