#Chapter 63: Come quickly

I took a very short shower and readied myself for bed once Alexander was gone to lead evening training with his pack. I was tired enough to fall asleep early, and I wasn’t sure I was capable of letting him touch me right now, while my mind was still wired and racing through everything. Just this morning I had learned that Alexander had been keeping secret from me the fact that he actually owned the company I worked for. And when I provided him with a chance to come clean, he chose to keep hiding it from me. So here I was, sitting cross-legged in bed alone, with the drawer of my bedside table rolled open. The orange prescription bottle I had received from the palace doctor, back when Alexander had left me alone for a few days and I’d started to grow ill – it was still half full. I pulled it out from the back of the drawer and reread the usage label. Sighing, I popped the lid off and scooted a single pill out. Threw the pill into my mouth and drank it down with a sip of water.
