Alpha Terrell's POV
Terrell.
I sat up. My heart was still doing something erratic in my chest - the spike of fear becoming something else as my eyes adjusted and found his silhouette in the doorway, the familiar shape of him, the particular way he stood.
"You almost scared…" I pressed my hand flat against my sternum. "I thought…"
"I heard something in the corridor." He stepped inside. Left the door slightly open. "Someone moving near your room. One of the guards will have them by now but I wanted to make sure…" He stopped. Looked at me sitting up in the dark with my hand over my heart. Something moved through his expression. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you."
"You didn't…" I started.
We both knew that was a lie.
