Alice was lying on the sofa downstairs with Denver protectively by her side. Both of them were lying side by side, asleep.
For some time now, Alice found more comfort on the sofa than in her bed. With Burke undergoing training on official and management duties, he was now spending a lot of time at the office to complete the tasks his Alpha assigned to him.
However, he began to feel strange pains that made him uncomfortable. The same pain awoke Alice, and when she lifted herself to a sitting position, Denver was equally awake.
His eyes were wide open as usual, determined to follow Alice wherever she went. What he did not expect was the clear liquid that splashed on the floor and the pain in Alice's eyes, as if she needed help but could not speak.
Alice had never felt this kind of pain in her life, not even during her first shift. She sat back on the sofa, and there was not a single maid around.
