The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 48

Emery

I’m on edge by the time he leaves. He even had the audac- ity to come over and lift my

chin so he could kiss me on the mouth, “I’ll be sending in some females to take you into

the bathroom and bathe. You will be able to roam free on a longer chain once they are

over first my uncle, and now their treatment of me, “I don’t know what my uncle has told

about me but I’m NOT the enemy here!”

All four women gasp and back away just a little and only then does one of them speak,

“Uncle?”

“Yes. Colin is my uncle; he and my father are half-broth- ers.” I explain annoyed.

“Who is your father?” Another female asks hesitantly.

“My father is Ledger Hastings.”

Another loud gasp.
