Chapter 21

“What are you staring at get to work!” I yelled, tightening my jaws as my patience ran thin. Her behaviors were those that only the patience of a

Saint could stand.

She gave me a contempt–filled look before turning around but I had already grabbed her by the arm, my hand already raised to dish out some life lesson to her but Caden held back my arm.

I swerved immediately, throwing a slap across Caden’s face but he was quick to tuck before his cheeks got lacerated. “How dare you?!” I yelled at him, eveing him dancerously.

“Sorry, Alpha.” He bowed, a childish glint of malice and mischief shining in his eyes.

“Llet go!” She muttered, slightly trying to push my hand away but I continued to hold her hand tightly even as she struggled to break free. My palms were perfectly wound around her cuffs, giving her no room for escape,

That’s when it happened. It happened so fast that I didn’t see it coming.

The moment, I felt a surge of pleasant spark, a strange kind of feeling that I’ve never felt before. It was something that I couldn’t explain. something that I’ve never experienced in all of my years as an Alpha

I knew instantly that something was wrong. I shouldn’t have felt anything towards her. I turned back to Caden to make sure I wasn’t hypnotized or something of that sort. I was supposed to be in control, but I found my grasp gradually loosening.

I tried to push the thoughts out of my mind and focus on the situation at hand. I released her hand and commanded her to go and get something to clear the shards on the ground.

She hesitated for a moment, as if she was trying to read my mind or figure out my true intentions, like she felt that same spark. I knew I couldn’t let her see through me, so I put on my best poker face and watched as she walked away to get the cleaning supplies, looking back every now and then to make sure I wasn’t hot on her trail.

As she cleaned up the glass, I found myself helplessly watching her movement from behind. She moved with such grace, and the way she bent over to pick up the shards was mesmerizing. I felt my body starting to warm up, and a strange feeling descending upon me. My wolf started to stir, as 1 felt his presence in the back of my mind.

The urge to knead her perfect ass began to filter its way into my mind, and it wasn’t until I yelled out a command that my wolf stopped and retraced back

He was bringing up all sorts of nasty thoughts, and I could feel the temptation to give in to his urges.

I yelled at my wolf again through the mind–link, telling him to back off and leave me alone. This time I was breathing heavily like I had run a marathon and my visage was shining with perspiration. I couldn’t give in to my base instincts, I needed to stay in control.

“Fuck!” I yelled before I turned away from her and walked towards the other side of the room, trying to distance myself from her.

I couldn’t deny the fact that she was getting to me, and that scared me. I’ve never been one to let my guard down, to let anyone in. But suddenly there was something about her that was making me question everything I knew, everything I had believed.

My s

y wolf started to growl again, trying to come up to the surface and take over again. The primal instincts were high, and it was equally going to take a high amount of tolerance to keep it checked

urge to let go and let him take

My wolf’s thoughts were relentless, and I occasionally felt my control slipping. I clenched my fists, trying to resist the urg over. “Back off,” I growled through the mind–link, and shut the f*ck up!”

Ryder tried to argue, his voice echoing in my head but I returned immediately in angry reproach.

“I don’t know what has come over you but you need to stop whatever you’re doing right now.” I retorted. “What was that for?”

My wolf growled in frustration, but eventually quieted down. I can feel his presence retreat to the back of my mind, but I know he’s still there, waiting for the opportunity to take over.

I took a

a deep breath and walked away from the room, needing to put some distance between us.

I quicked my steps as soon as I stepped out the hallway of the corridor, heading for my office. My office was on the end of the line hallway at the right. I pushed at the door as soon as I got there but it was locked. In frustration, I pushed it again and again but it wouldn’t budge.

The amount of patience it took me to calm down and use the blometric lock was unbelievable. As soon as I stepped inside, I rushed for the cellar and grabbed my favorite brandy to soothe my frayed nerves. On normal occasions, Wolfsbane could have done the trick but it made you feel like sht afterwards

Chapter 21

I sat alone in my office, my thoughts consumed by the memory of the first time I touched her. The moment our skin met, there was a spark that seemed to light up the whole room. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before,

I try to push the thought out of my mind, but it was impossible. The feeling was too intense, too real. It was like an electric shock that my entire body, awakening every nerve ending.

I wonder if that was what mates were supposed to feel. But I can’t allow myself to believe that.

tran through

I took a deep breath and reminded myself that she was just a human. She was nothing more than a means to an end. I couldn’t permit myself to get caught up in these thoughts, no matter how powerful they are.

I stood up from my desk and began to pace back and forth in the room, trying to clear my mind. But the memory of her lingers, refusing to let go.

I wonder what she must be thinking about right now. The way she had reacted as though she had been shocked pretty much said everything. I wondered if she felt the same way I did? Or was she still just biding her time, waiting for an opportunity to escape? Was she somehow an undercover assassin, what the hell was she! Perhaps there was something out of the ordinary behind those gentle and lamb–like demeanor of hers.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts, knowing that I couldn’t allow myself to get caught up in her. I had to remain focused on the pack and
