CHAPTER 53

  As Rachel exits the room,leaving Helen and Alpha Max to themselves,the heaviness of the room could actually be felt. Helen fidgets uneasily,her fingers twirling the hem of the cotton shirt she had on. For whatever reason,she could not raise her eyes to meet his. Her breathing hitched and she felt a flush of hot emotions in her system.

  Alpha Max couldn't even believe that this party that he had reluctantly attended,was going to present a second chance to him. He remembered how persistent Adam was about the party. He had only accepted to come,so his son wouldn't feel lonely, especially since the sad incident happened.

  Snapping the sad thoughts out of his head,he realized that Helen also felt his fears and she could read his mind to an extent. He stared hard at her and began to take cautious but firm steps towards Helen.
