I stormed out of the office, my hands trembling with a mix of fury and disbelief. That beast actually kissed me right in front of everyone! How dare he mark me like that?
My mind flashed back to the last time I'd seen him at the hospital. He had rescued me, and when I tried to thank him, he'd said I would owe him instead. Could this kiss be what I owed him? Ugh. No, no, no. In the pack, debts could be repaid, favors could be returned but this? This is a bond I can't afford. He's not human he's an Alpha, a predator, and he's testing my instincts with every move.
I swallowed hard, trying to calm the thundering of my heartbeat. I could owe anything to anyone, but I cannot owe this man anything. This is grave… he's pure wolf, and I'm prey caught in his scent.
Meanwhile, back at the office, Nigel had just finished a game when he noticed his cousin storming in, dark energy trailing him like a shadow. "Elliot, what's wrong?" he asked, tilting his head.
