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.

I don’t waste any time and kiss her, needing to feel the tenderness of her soft plump lips against mine after all these agonizing hours lying in wait. Guilt bubbles in my chest, however, and I pull away to reassure her of my feelings.

"W-what sound?" I ask, Talia looking up at me in confusion.

"You don’t hear it?" She replies, looking around for the source.

"Hear w-what?"

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

"Is there a cat in here?"
