"Please think about this carefully, Val. Alpha Denzel is deadly but also every woman's dream. Will you accept him if he is indeed in love with you but hides it because of his enemies?"
"What do you mean he hides it because of his enemies?" Valerie asked, feeling confused and helpless. Alpha Denzel, to her, was not someone who could easily be threatened.
Ryker saw the confused expression on her face, indicating an emotional battle going on inside her. If she loved his Alpha side, then that was even better.
"Please, just answer the question," he said seriously, receiving an unexpected answer.
"I don't know."
Valerie didn't know? She would rather not say as she was always decisive, not the kind of person who struggled to speak her mind. "Yes, you do," he insisted, not allowing her to cower out of the situation.
