Chapter 15

I’d been cooped up in the alpha cabin for three days straight, and I had to get out of there. Night said he was against it, but I promised all I would do was check on the progress of our rebuilding projects. The fresh air would be good for me, and it would show the Kings that I was still around and taking care of them. Plus, I hadn’t been sick that morning, and I even felt well enough to eat a small omelet with my usual toast and tea. I wanted to take full advantage of my strength while I had it.

Tavi asked if I wanted her to come along, but I told her to stay behind so she could continue searching for that account information. She agreed, and I stepped out on my own.

The sun was shining that morning, which I hoped was a sign that I’d made the right decision. I went to the commons to buy something for Night and Tavi. Alphas were given a generous monthly stipend, and when I received mine, I hadn’t known what to do with it. Mom suggested I save it or spend it on something that would make me feel good. I didn’t know what to get for myself, but I wanted Tavi and Night to know how much I appreciated their hard work while confined to my bed.

I looked around for a moment, taking my time to find the best gifts. Eventually, I decided on a stall that sold braided leather bracelets. No one was manning the store when I arrived, so I browsed the goods on display.

There were a lot of beautiful bracelets for sale, some with metal clasps or trinkets attached to them, others with simple three-strand braids, and some with much more complex weaves. I was tempted by more than one style, but when I considered Tavi and Night’s personalities, I knew they would prefer simpler styles.

“See something you like, Alpha?” The deep voice made me look up.

It was as if Lance had just appeared next to me. I stepped to the side and eyed him. He wore the kind of smile a person reserved for someone they hadn’t seen in a long time. I wasn’t sure what that smile meant, but I didn’t return it.

The first time I ever saw Lance, he was hanging out with Troy, his pale eyes staring dispassionately forward. I’d never known him to smile or laugh or have a kind word for anyone. Why was he here if he was so close to Troy? Was he keeping tabs on us? After what happened with Evan, we couldn’t be too careful.

“Yes, actually.” I pointed to a chestnut-brown bracelet and a cranberry-red one. Both bracelets had brass clasps to keep them securely closed around the wrist.

Lance started to respond, but the shopkeeper returned at that very moment.

“You have a good eye, Alpha. I’ll give you a good price for the pair of them.”

“How much?”

“Forty-five dollars.”

I reached for my purse. My mother would be disappointed that I wasn’t haggling over the price, but I wasn’t in the mood for it.
