[ The lights in his room are off and he's on the floor, tucked against the wall, on the opposite side of the bed. A far cry from the arrogance he wields in public. He's shaking with the effort to keep himself in control. Given the claw marks on the walls, it took a while to get himself there.
He tightens when the light from the corridor spills into the room. But when he hears her voice, so close, his head jerks up. His face shifting involuntarily toward human, though the fangs and glowing eyes remain. He just watches her. Teeth grit together, drawing ragged breaths through them. In seeing her, he suddenly can't tell which one she is. Because he remembers there being a different one. He'd thought of her while he'd been an alpha. And for a terrifying moment, he didn't know if he could trust her. ]
