The Silent Alpha

Chapter 55: Sparks

***Zane***

My heart nearly skips a beat when I see Talia open her eyes for the first time since she fell unconscious in the car, her warm brown irises resembling swirls of chocolate and honey. How I missed those beautiful eyes of hers.

"Hear w-what?"

"The purring," she says, her eyes scanning the dimly lit room.

"Is there a cat in here?"
