CHAPTER EIGHT

Alyssa felt drained. It had been the longest and most tension-filled day of her life. She'd thought it was bad waiting for the results of each round of the contest, but going to the Son's headquarters, feeling Colt's unease and her own fears as she waited to meet the males who might want her, had been far worse. When they'd all taken their turn sniffing at her, she'd barely kept still. Her legs had told her to run, get as far away from these strangers as she could. But her brain had over-ruled the urge and she'd completed the task as confidently as she could.

During the drive back to LA she'd fallen asleep in Colt's arms, but then she was right back into the last coaching session before the contest the next night. Now, as she staggered through the hotel lobby, her brain was in melt-down. All she could think about was a hot shower and a soft bed.

Connor checked her room while Colt held her up at the door. Literally held her up. Her legs had turned to sponge and refused to support her weight.

"All clear," Connor announced as he exited the room.

That's when her cell went off. She recognised the ring. It was Alzhir. Part of her had been expecting the call all day. How could she have expected to drop off the radar for almost a whole day and not arouse his suspicions? After all, Colt was still not officially her bodyguard and it was only yesterday that she'd been attacked.

"Where have you been Alyssa?" The imperious demand got her back up immediately.

"Been? Why, to my coaching session, of course." She intentionally misunderstood him, letting her voice carry the tone of bemused innocence.

"Earlier today, Alyssa. You didn't take the limo. Where did you go?"

"Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. I went to Frisco on a spur of the moment thing. My friend Sam called to tell me she'd gotten engaged. Her fiancé was about to fly out to Europe and it was the only chance I'd have of meeting him before the wedding. As I had the day free except for the interview, I had Colt and Connor to drive me up there. They said it was safer to travel in a private vehicle than to take the rented limo, which whoever wants me would be looking for."

She heard the uncertainty coming down the line at her. He'd been furious, but now her story was calming him. "You should have told me what you were doing. You're too trusting. Those men could have taken you anywhere, and I would have been none-the-wiser."

"Men? You mean Colt and Connor? No, they're great. I couldn't be safer. And now I'm back at the hotel and ready for a good night's sleep. I barely closed my eyes last night; I was still so wound up over the attack."

"Yes, get some sleep. You need to be fresh for the contest tomorrow. But do not do that again. Do you understand me? Do not go off without telling me.
