Spilling the Alpha's Secrets

"You did what?" Chloe's voice rose to a near-screech, causing several heads to turn our way in the small coffee shop.

I lunged across the table, frantically waving my hands to shush her. "Keep your voice down! This isn't public information!"

"You moved in with Adrian Valois," she whispered harshly, her eyes wide as saucers. "The Adrian Valois. Chairman of the Lycan Council Adrian Valois. The most powerful Alpha in the country Adrian Valois."

"Yes, yes, I know who he is," I sighed, sinking back into my chair.

"And you're what? His live-in tutor?" Chloe's eyebrow arched skeptically.

I fiddled with my coffee cup, avoiding her penetrating gaze. The truth had been burning inside me for days. I needed to tell someone before I exploded, but now that the moment had arrived, the words stuck in my throat.

"It's complicated," I finally admitted.
