The fluttery feelings in her heart intensified with every flash of his face. At the same time, her stomach lurched in frustration. She mentally reprimanded herself. Her body had to be playing a trick on her. There was no way she could have these strong feelings for him. Beta Kristi, report to my chambers. She blinked as Alpha Gavin’s silent howl resonated, loud and powerful, through her head. Her feet immediately altered her course to the hallway that angled toward the surface. A shuddering sensation clamped onto her brain. Her alpha would smell the Sentinel on her and he would ask questions. Determination pressed the worries away as she neared his open chamber. The guards posted outside the entryway dipped their heads down as she passed. She wondered what they thought of the scent clinging to her. She made her way to the center of the cavern, standing before Alpha Gavin. His green eyes regarded her with masked emotions, though his nostrils twitched as if picking up a curious scent.
