Chapter 176. This Was for the Best

Alexander’s POV

I woke with a jolt, my body drenched in sweat and my head pounding with the worst hangover I’d experienced in years. But that wasn’t what had my wolf whining anxiously inside my head.

The scent.

Her perfume.

Sarah’s intoxicating fragrance was everywhere—on my sheets, on my skin, in the very air I breathed. My wolf stirred with satisfaction while my human side filled with dread.

“Fuck,” I groaned, memories flooding back in vivid detail.

It hadn’t been a dream. I’d taken her again and again until we were both exhausted beyond measure. The ghost of her taste lingered on my lips, and I could still feel the imprint of her body against mine.
