ALEXANDER
The morning had started normally enough. I had gotten dressed, checked that everything was in order, and prepared myself for a day that was supposed to be different from my usual routine.
There would be no meetings. I hoped there would be no responsibilities demanding my immediate attention and no reason for me to spend the entire day focused on anything other than my family.
That was what Helen had asked for. And for some reason, Faye was beginning to enjoy the idea more than Helen herself.
She believed I needed it more than anyone.
I hadn't completely disagreed with her, even if I hadn't admitted it at the time.
As I adjusted my watch...I suddenly felt it.
My wolf, Aiden, stirred.
I stopped.
The reaction was immediate, but it wasn't the kind of response I was used to.
