| turn and look at Alpha Mahli and try to swallow the food around the lump in my throat. | definitely have a bad

feeling about this.

After breakfast, Alpha Mahli givesa tour of the packhouse, including his personal bedroom. Gross. It's just as

dark as the rest of the packhouse. | also realize that he has puton the Alpha floor across from his room.

Yeah, I'll be locking my door tonight.

Then, he givesa tour of the pack lands. | realize that he’s taking every opportunity to touchpossible,

finding reasons to put his hand on my back to guide’ me, or sliding his hand across my back when he goes to

point at

something. The hairs on the back on my neck are standing on end and all | want to do is get away from this guy.

| do find out that he’s been an Alpha for nearly 15 years and his fated mate died. | try to consider that maybe

that’s why he’s so awkward and why he likes the dark, but | can’t reconcile it in my mind.

Finally, he dropsoff at my room, tellinghe needs to do swork and that dinner will be in two hours. |

sunshine in. Then | find my bag and grab my phone. | send Clint a text, hoping that I'll hear back, but doubting

combat the eerie feeling | have about what's happening here.

When | don’t get a response, | decide to take a shower and lay down for a while. | doze off and am awakened to

the sounds a metal scraping on metal. | turn and see that Alpha Mahli has used a key to unlock my door and is

walking into the

room.

“You've slept the afternoon away, Lily. It’s tto get up and chave dinner.” He starts walking over to me

and | quickly hop off the bed.

“Oh, I'm so sorry. Letbrush my hair and I'll be ready to go.” | say, darting toward the ensuite bathroom.

“Actually, | bought you a dress to wear for dinner. Your father gaveyour size. I'd like you to wear it tonight. |

“Will my father be joining us?” | ask, hoping the answer is yes.

“No, his.....business, is keeping him busy tonight.” By the way he says ‘business’

| get the feeling that it’s not business at all. But, if it's not, | don’t know why we'd be here.

“Okay, where is the dress?”

He goes to the closet and pulls out a red satin dress with black lace overlay. It's strapless and the black lace falls

farther than the satin which looks like it will barely cover my backside. Honestly, it looks more like sexy lingerie

than something that | would wear to dinner. And if | was choosing my own lingerie, this wouldn't be my color

scheme. It matches the tawdry décor of the packhouse.

“I think it will go beautifully with your brown hair.” He says, handingthe dress while sliding his fingers

through my hair. My body shivers in revulsion at his touch, but his smile and the darkening of his eyes leads me

to believe he thinks I like his touch.

“I'll wait here while you put it on.” He says, stepping back. I'm not sure if he thinks I'm going to strip in front of

him, but no, that’s not happening. | walk into the bathroom and firmly shut the door, listening to make sure he

isn’t going to cin.

| quickly change into the dress and I'm just getting myself adjusted in the top when he opens the door without

He looksup and down. “Beautiful. And there are these.” He handsa pair of what must be 5 inch red and

black stiletto platform heels. | lean down and put them on my feet. When | stand, I'm nearly as tall as he is.

He takes my hand and walksoutside to a waiting limousine. After helpinginside, he climbs in behind me,

making sure he is sitting next to me.

“As you may have guessed Lily, | am a wealthy Alpha. | am in the business of making money.”

“What business is that?” | ask, truly wondering what this man does to support his pack. While | don’t care for the

decorating, the packhouse building itself along with every other house I see on the pack lands are opulent. It

remindsof that line from Shrek, ‘Do you think he’s compensating for something?‘ I have to quickly get ahold

of myself, so | don’t snicker out loud.

“The business of luck and dreams.” He says. Whatever that means.

We arrive at an expensive looking restaurant, and the valet assists us out of the limo. Alpha Mahli takes my arm

and guidesinside.

“Alpha.” The maitre d* bows his head. “We have your table set up and ready for you.”
