#Chapter 60: Secret Ice Cream Date

Amber’s POV As expected of an Alpha, Julian was a fast learner and in no time at all, had learned to be a good assistant. He even befriended Carla, shadowing her for a while to learn the in’s and out’s of what she did. For a few days, he proved himself, as he claimed, to be a dutiful assistant. Every night after work though, he would ask, “Can I see Alice tonight?” Every night, I would think up an excuse, still worried about getting the two of them together. “She has homework,” I said tonight, an excuse I had already used twice before this week. As his face darkened somewhat, I knew he was tired of hearing it. “I’ll only stay for a few minutes. Just to see her and say hi,” he said. Even that made me anxious. Knowing he planned on making her his heir, what if he snatched her when my back was turned and left for the capital. What if I was never able to get her back? Perhaps my worries were unjustified. Perhaps my fears were making me think of worst case scenarios. Juli
