Alpha Denzel was convinced that there was no way Valerie would escape from the changing room. Not when he locked the door himself and was just in the next room. "She should be there."
Alessia looked puzzled, not understanding what was going on. Valerie had numerous chances to escape when she lived at the cottage but never did.
What could go wrong now? "I searched everywhere," she said helplessly. Alpha Denzel walked to the changing room by himself.
"She was in here," he said with conviction, looking around. There was nowhere to hide, and even the lockers were too small for her size, so he could not say that she was hiding somewhere. The windows were all closed with nothing showing they had been tempered with.
