I catch ns of little mounds of dirt But they weren’t stupid about it and ers slide away fro his hands in front level with his waist line, "I need to get so out of the way" He holds out one hand palreat! He’s starting withthe hardest out of the way first, but I would’ve liked a little advanced warning I shut my eyes and breathe in an unsteady breath

Alex pushes her way through the crowd, taking aard steps through the grass and into the e the length of her strides

I s six lu with one raised eyebrow; her hands are fixed closely together near her pelvis because of the shackles on her wrists

When Isaac doesn’t say anything, I gradually step up next to hie him with my elbohen I hear his voice in my head:

"It’s not her…"

"What? She already walked through it?" I start to craneevery which way for evidence of trap lines, but Isaac grabs my wrist "Don’t do that," he says harshly "You’ll make it obvious"

"Oh…" I blink away my folly and try to look natural, but I can tell by how stiffbut natural

Isaac clears his throat

"As you all know," he begins, "Alexandra is Adria’s sister Yes, she is of the Vargas bloodline and she did…," he glances at Alex briefly and I can tell he’s still seriously distrusting of her despite not being the Dark Praverian, "…she did cause a lot of probleo--nearly killed her, in fact--," there was poison in that stateoes on, "but like Rachel, Alexandra is to be given a chance to prove herself and she’ll not be treated as a traitor by anyone in this pack"

So back at us aardly and I realize that I’ This announcement has pretty ot here It was never made into a cere else, fast

"I thought it was her…," he says absently, still not looking at me

"Well, it’s not," I say, "so you better speed this up orelse before you make it obvious"

Xavier steps out of the cro and stands beside Alex, his short blond hair naturally a little messy in the front, which apparently helps with his sex appeal He has dark blue eyes that always appear hooded, and a facial bone structure that could land hi contract if he didn’t think male models were such pussies

"She can stay in rin always reminds me that he’s Daisy’s twin

"U out of the crowd, "She’s staying with me" She snarls at Xavier, but Xavier smiles back at her with charm and confidence

"Maybe you should ask her," he says

"What is happening?" I say quietly, trying to keep a straight face as I watch

Nathan laughs behindwhat Xavier is falaring atat me

She snarls at Xavier "Who the hell do you think you are, anyway?" A look of unbelieving disgust warps her face

"I’ to sleep with before this week is over"

Nathan and Isaac both can hardly contain their laughter I’ here listening to this Seriously? Did he really just say that?

Alex crosses her arht up to Xavier with a heavily wrinkled nose "Wow You really havea hand at her to calm down, but I only have her attention for about two seconds before she’s back in Xavier’s sexy grinning face

"You keep telling yourself that, okay?" she retorts, popping out one hip

"Oh, I will," he says confidently and then he leans towards her slowly and touches his lips along the side of her jaw Alex doesn’t move, but for a second a flicker of confusion flits across her eyes

I think Cecilia’s eyeballs are about to drop out of her head
