Chapter 11: 11

Tyra POV

I am in and out of my head throughout the night. I think Alpha is here waking me, but I am so out of my head that I cannot be sure. I hear my name, open my eyes, say I am okay, and then go back to sleep. When I close my eyes, I see Austin and his mighty fist going into my face. I do not understand. I was willing to give him everything, and yet it was not enough. I am so stupid. How can I be so smart and so stupid at the same time? I graduated with honors. I went to med school. I was top of my class, and now I am lying in a bed with the worst headache I have ever had in my life after being beat by a man I was willing to give my all to for nothing. I am stupid.

I raise my body and sit on the side of the bed. It was Alpha all night checking on me. He is sleeping soundly in a chair close to the bed. His alarm blares, waking Alpha. He jumps up and looks startled to see me sitting up on the side of the bed.

“Well, you are awake?” Alpha says to me.
