Lylah dared to study him from the corner of her eye. When she was younger, she’d thought no man co surpass Rowan–the most handsome Alpha in Vedanth. But the presence beside her eclipsed that mem entirely.

Ezra wore a long, raven–black coat trimmed with dark fur at the collar. Tinted glasses concealed his eye yet his sharply sculpted features radiated unquestionable authority. He was tall and immaculately composed, exuding a dominance so potent it made Lylah’s chest throb in an unfamiliar way.

Suddenly, the Alpha shifted slightly, head angling toward her.

As if he could feel her staring.

“Alpha,” Lylah managed, clearing her throat. “Would you like me to unfold your blanket?”

“Yes.” His voice was low and rich, a vibration that slid beneath her skin. “Please place it on my lap. Than you.”

Her pulse stumbled.

Lylah blinked, startled that he’d initiated conversation.

Questions crowded her mind.

They arrived as the sky bled into a faint dawn.

Without thinking, Lylah took hold of her suitcase and guided him onto the platform.

As she walked beside him, his scent–sandalwood, winter night, something undeniably intoxicating- wrapped around her senses, leaving her faintly unsteady.

Near the exit, she spotted a man holding a sign with her name, standing beside a sleek, jet–black vehicle
