The restaurant. Trent. Lucas. My embarrassing breakdown. After that, things became hazier. I vaguely recalled being guided into a car, Lucas’s voice a low, soothing murmur as I drifted in and out of consciousness.
Looking around, I took in the elegant simplicity of the bedroom.
Large windows framed by heavy curtains, tasteful furniture in warm wood ones, and subtle, masculine touches that made it clear whose room
this was.
The entire space smelled of him-that distinctive cedar and mint scent that made Tracy stir with interest.
Lucas’s bedroom, I realized with a jolt. I was in Lucas Grayson’s bed.
I pushed back the covers, relieved to find I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday, though someone had removed my shoes.
My face burned at the thought of Lucas seeing me so vulnerable, so completely undone.
I, who had survived four years in Silver Fang, had broken down sobbing in his arms like a child.
A soft knock at the door interrupted my mortified thoughts.
“Come in,” I called, quickly smoothing my hair and straightening my rumped clothes.
The door opened to reveal an older woman with silver-streaked brown hai and kind eyes.
She carried a tray with what appeared to be breakfast, and her expression Brightened when she saw me awake.
“Good morning, dear,” she greeted warmly. “I’m Margaret Wilson, Alpha’s housekeeper. I’ve brought you some breakfast p>
“Thank you,” I replied awkwardly, watching as she set the tray on the beds de table. “I’m Tori Sullivan p>
“Oh, I know who you are,” she said with a knowing smile that made me instantly uncomfortable. “Alpha was quite concerned about you last
night p>
My cheeks heated further. “I should go. I don’t want to impose p>
Margaret waved away my protest.
“Nonsense. Mr. Grayson rarely brings anyone here. This is his private residence, not the Grayson estate. She adjusted the curtains, letting in more light. “He must think very highly of you p>
I didn’t know how to respond to that, so I focused on the tray instead.
A steaming bowl of what looked like porridge with delicate purple flowers loating on top caught my attention
“Moon lily porridge, Margaret explained, following my gaze. Very nourishing, especially for Omegas who’ve had a shock. And the tea is a special blend-helps calm the nerves p>
“Thank you,” I repeated, genuinely touched by her thoughtfulness.

Margaret studied me with unusual intensity.
‘If you don’t mind my saying, dear, you two are so perfectly matched. I’ve never seen Mr. Grayson so concerned about anyone before. The way he looked at you…” She smiled warmly. “Some pairs just fit together naturally, don’t they p>
“No, really, I insisted, my face now burning. We’re not… together p>
Despite my protests, I couldn’t completely suppress the small flutter of warmth in my chest at her words.
Unlike the usual judgment about status differences between Alphas and Omegas, Margaret’s comment held nothing but genuine approval.
Tracy practically purred at the thought, forcing me to mentally silence her enthusiasm before my expression betrayed me.
Margaret patted my hand indulgently. “Whatever you say, dear. The bathroom is through that door if you’d like to freshen up. Alpha left some fresh clothes for you on the counter p>
Before I could protest further, she was gone, leaving me with my embarrassment and the fragrant breakfast. Tracy, my wolf, seemed entirely too pleased with the situation, practically preening at the idea of being in Lucas’s private space.
Quiet, you, I mentally scolded her.
After finishing the surprisingly delicious porridge, I showered quickly, trying not to think about whose shower I was using or how his scent surrounded me completely in this space.
Once dressed, I ventured downstairs.
Lucas leaned against the counter, talking quietly on his phone. He looked up when I entered, his silver eyes immediately finding mine.
“I’ll call you back,” he said into the phone before ending the call.
‘Good morning, Tori. How did you sleep p>
