CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

Claire’s POV

I heard a sharp knock on the door. Oh my God, he’s here. I took a deep breath as I assessed my apartment one more time. I couldn’t make a quick dash to my bedroom mirror. I hoped I looked good after all that effort.

I breathed in and walked to the door, but with a racing heart, cold hands, and an aft smile on my face.

I opened the door. "Hi, come on in,” I said, smiling. Oh my gosh, he was so tall. My apartment dwarfed this handsome alpha. I can’t believe I snagged myself an Alpha. Not just an Alpha, but a rival one. That was brave of me. I mentally patted myself on the back.

“Welcome to my humble abode,” I said with a nervous laugh as I moved aside for him to come. He didn’t move. That was strange.

“Hello?” I asked him as he just stared at me. It felt like he had just gone blank. I had to wave my hands again before he came to me.

"Hello, are you okay?” I asked him. He looked at me as if he were thoughtful before he spoke.

"Breath-taking,” he said. “That is what you are."
