It tore through me like wildfire, the sting of betrayal searing my chest. My heart clenched painfully, and for a moment, I thought I might crumble right there and fall apart into pieces on the cold floor.
They froze, and I knew I had to get out of there as soon as possible. I didn’t want to anger the Alpha. I had already committed an offense by barging in on him without an invitation.
My heart leaped into my throat at the sound of his voice.
“Don’t move an inch.”
A chill crawled down my spine, freezing me in place. My heart raced, and my stomach twisted with dread. I couldn’t bring myself to turn around, fear rooting me to the spot. His voice was cold, so cold, like ice seeping into my veins, paralyzing me.
Every muscle in my body locked up as if he had bound me with invisible chains just with his words. My mind screamed for me to run, to get out, but my feet refused to obey.
“Why are you stopping?” Shikta asked him, her voice breathless, laced with frustration and impatience.
The Alpha’s response was as cold as winter’s frost. “Leave.”
Shikta let out a small huff, clearly displeased, but I heard her shift, the scrape of her feet against the stone floor as she adjusted herself. A tense pause followed. I could practically feel Shikta’s shock. “But-”
“I won’t ask twice.” His words were laced with an edge so sharp that I felt a cold chill ripple down her spine.
Shikta didn’t protest again. She brushed past me, her bare skin hot and flushed as she hurried out of the room, her shoulder colliding roughly with my arm as if marking her departure with a brand of disdain.
I clenched her fists at my sides, willing my body not to tremble. Not here. Not now.
I felt that new surge of anger brewing within me. The one that I have been trying to tame.

I had taught myself always to take in deep breaths when I feel that way. It helps calm me down, at least, until I get a solution to what’s happening to me.
I could feel his gaze burning into my back, scorching me from where he stood.
“Turn around,” Parthe commanded, his voice low.
I swallowed hard, my throat dry and tight as I slowly, reluctantly, obeyed. My feet moved
as if by instinct, though my mind screamed at me to flee. The moment my eyes met his,
my heart constricted painfully in my chest.
There he stood–naked.
His sweat–slicked skin glistened in the low light of the room, the muscles of his chest and
abdomen taut, his powerful form unapologetically on display.
His broad shoulders were tense, the sinew in his arms flexing as he relaxed against the table where he had been fucking Shikta, watching me with a gaze so piercing as if he
could see every hidden part of my very soul.
But it wasn’t just his cold, dangerous expression that rendered me breathless. It was the
raw, sinful beauty of him.
My gaze unwillingly trailed over his sculpted chest, over the planes of his stomach, where his muscles rippled with every controlled breath.
Lower still… I couldn’t help it. My eyes traveled down, past the sharp lines of his hips, to the length that stood heavy and swollen between his legs.
I swallowed hard, the sight of him making my pulse race, my body betraying me in the
most humiliating way.
Goddess above!
It was huge, impossibly thick, the sight of it causing warmth to bloom low in my abdomen, my thighs instinctively clenching together.
Sinfully built.
Every inch of him was dangerous, potent, and it sent a shiver down my spine.

I couldn’t deny the attraction to him, even if I hated him for it. My body’s reaction
betrayed me, no matter how fiercely I tried to fight it.

Parthe’s voice sliced through my thoughts, snapping me back to the present. “Stare one more time, and you’ll feel its wrath.”
