Escaping the Mansion

Evaline:

I inhaled deeply to allow myself to calm down once I realized that it was none other than Alpha Kieran who had sneaked up on me. His grip on my arm was firm and he didn't let go even after I stopped struggling.

"You almost got caught twice," he murmured, letting me know that he had been watching me all this time. "You need to be better than that."

I swallowed, forcing myself to breathe evenly. The way he had appeared so suddenly, the way his hand had silenced me before I could even react, it sent a chill down my spine.

"Follow me," he said and finally released me.

Without another word, he turned and moved soundlessly through the garden. I hesitated for only a moment before following him. My bare feet barely made a sound against the cool grass as I trailed behind him with my shoes still in my hands.
